Muhomatsu 246 Posted November 9, 2024 Where is the best place to get more of the Kototsurugi-style fridge magnets for current sekitori? Bigsunofan shop has not had new inventory for some time. Anyone else got any sources? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise, try Takahashi when out of season https://maps.app.goo.gl/r3PmsfCh3udi5ScR8?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muhomatsu 246 Posted November 12, 2024 Thanks. Sort of stuck stateside.... To all those reading who want to make a buck, there is a customer if you stock up on those magnets! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Obana 357 Posted January 2 In the Kyushu Basho, I was taken with Juryo rookie Kotoeiho's elegant shiko (reminiscent of Katayama's beautiful foot stomps). I am pleased that he remains in Juryo in spite of a 7-8 makekoshi in his debut. A couple of years ago I picked up 杉岡幸徳 Sugioka Kōtoku's 2023 book, 『奇妙な漢字』 [Strange Kanji]. I particularly admired the "koto" variant in this work. If Andrés Segovia had become a Sadogatake rikishi, I hope he would have used this version in his shikona. A face mask celebrating J13W (again), Kotoeiho. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jakusotsu 6,047 Posted March 5 That's another good thing about Hoshoryu's promotion - he finally stopped staring at us! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Obana 357 Posted March 30 In January I acquired a folded, two sided poster of kimarite illustrated by the late Kototsurugi. Bilingual (Japanese/English). Wish it was a booklet. 16 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
