Yamanashi 3,759 Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) The fellow on the right looks like he could be Terunofuji's Dad. That must be ... Satonifuji? If so, he's older than Futagoyama. Wow, what a trooper!

It really should have come to me earlier, but this picture is poignant for a reason: the two items on the keshō-mawashi are significant to why the three brothers bear the shikona they do. The parable of the three arrows is well known, as is their naming after the Sengoku daimyō Mōri Motonari's sons, but the helmet is less obvious - that is an image of Mōri Motonari's helmet. I can't be arsed to look through more reputable Japanese sources, so an English link from a replica store will have to do: https://samuraistore.com/products/mouri-helmet 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
