Update

You might already know by now, that I love Sumo. 

I've explained my fascination in blogs, here and here. 

I love everything about Sumo.

The tradition still honored.

The cleansing of the ring.

The skill and dedication.

The idea of a 15 consecutive day

basho (tournament) and the 

champion being the winner

of 15 days of competition.

And, the fact that you can't tell

by the sumo player's demeanor ,

which is the winner or the defeated.

No boasting. Manners. Tradition.

I love Sumo.

 

I've been watching the November Basho since November 8th and I look forward to watching it on NHK. ... 

 

Due to the pandemic they are limiting attendance to half of normal. September's basho was limited to one quarter the normal attendance,

Yesterday I captured this image to share. Who do you think won?

Enho (right)won and is the smallest makuuchi sumo wrestler, at just 168 centimeters (5 feet, 6.1 inches) tall and a svelte, by his profession's standards, 99 kilograms (218 pounds). He is a crowd favorite.

 

ShoDai, winner of the September Basho and Emperors Cup.

Watching every evening, I caught a glimpse of a beautiful lady, I call her the mystery lady. I started looking for her and she is in the same spot every day, looking serene and very interested.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was thrilled when I caught her clapping. I do watch the sumo too.

 

 

 

In my mind she is the wife of one of the sumo wrestlers? I am checking with my sources in Japan.  

Thus, the Mystery Lady.

I am a "Sumo Fan"!
