MARK BUCKTON SUMO Q & A

Asa and friend?

Yokozuna Asashoryu holds up a sea bream traditionally given to the winner of tournaments. As the fish is called "tai" in Japanese it can be considered a play on the term "omedeto"/"omedetai," which means congratulations.

Ladies and gentlemen, Hakuho has left the building

When hair is an artform

Fan interaction - the lifeblood of sumo

No one happy?

TEGATA - HANDPRINTS

Seen the Kokugikan?

Strike a pose!

There's no going back now son

Purple rain

Wipe carefully now

Eyes front and center

Banzuke anybody?

That's the pension taken care of

This be me this be

On your marks, get set, ...

ike the likeness?

From one legend to another

A January meeting with the gods

That tickles!

Asa & friend?
