I am the Yokozuna 193 Posted November 3, 2023 The work he does with education is quite impressive. To open and run a school requires not only ambition but also a great deal of caring about the public good, which is quite refreshing to see in the sumo world.

Kaninoyama 1,777 Posted December 12, 2023 Such a shame he was cast away from the world of sumo as he was, but in his case, it appears he's doing far more good outside of it than he could have by remaining on the inside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 40,404 Posted September 28, 2024 While at first coming and going between Japan and Mongolia, Harumafuji now lives with the family in Mongolia. In the cellar of his Shin(e) Mongol Harumafuji school is a dohyo, but it isn't used: there are no students who want to do sumo, they want to learn about Japan - and he wants to convey Japanese tradition by way of the teachings of sumo, not by sumo itself. There are thoughts to open the dohyo to the locals. Apart from the school, he also started a company that runs a dairy farm, with know-how from Hokkaido, to provide milk from Mongolia for the school lunch. If production increases, he may sell it also outside the school. oo inside o o o o o o The ambassador of Japan was at the school in late March https://www.mn.emb-japan.go.jp/itpr_ja/harumafuji20240322_jp.html and lately ex-YDC top Yano The school has a Japanese-Mongolian homepage, with mostly Japanese https://jp.shinemongolharumafuji.edu.mn/新モンゴル日馬富士学園応援者コーナー and one English-Mongolian, with 99% Mongolian http://en.shinemongolharumafuji.edu.mn/ gallery http://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/ss-230642252/230642252 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
