Mukonoso 273 Posted October 1, 2023 I visited Japan for a few weeks back in April (2023) and during a day trip in Tokyo (while backpacking around the country with a JR pass) I managed to squeeze in a walk by Naruto beya when going between Asakusa and the Skytree. I was lucky enough to encounter these young gentlemen doing some chores outside and they were gracious enough to allow a photo. Does anyone here recognize them? I meant to ask their names but then got distracted when my wife who met me in Tokyo for the day asked if the Oyakata was around as well (he was busy with a guest). Normally I pick up a copy of the Sumo Directory but my last volume is from 2017 and I forgot to pick one up this year. Thanks in advance. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katooshu 3,334 Posted October 1, 2023 I had forgotten about Karino....kyujo since maezumo. How fitting for Naruto beya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
