Hoshinoneko 3 Posted December 9, 2021 I am fortunate enough to own two of Lynn Matsuoka's sumo portraits, this one and Musashimaru (I can post a snap of that one if there is interest.) I actually inherited both of these nearly a decade ago from another fan and friend-through-sumo, Patt Griffin. Alas, I have fallen upon hard times and have had to consider parting with them in hopes of keeping the rent paid, cats fed, etc. It breaks my heart, not least because they are, in fact, a legacy. I am posting here in hopes someone might offer advice on their value and where I might go to sell them? There's always eBay, of course, but I don't want to go that route unless I have to -- and have a solid idea of their actual value. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shimodahito 304 Posted November 15 Good day all, I'm not much of an artist but am entertaining the thought of having a logo for the TORCHBEARER game. Perhaps a rikishi with a banzuke in one hand and torch in the other hand -- something fun, simple. Open to all creative ideas. If you are interested, you can share an idea here, or send me a PM. It would be cool if all the sumo games had their own artistic logo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
