Let Japan Times sumo writer Mark Buckton explain a few of the ins and outs of sumo using the pictures below.
Ladies and gentlemen, Hakuho has left the buildingWhen a rikishi wins the senior Makunouchi Division title in a Tokyo tournament he is usually transported back to his home stable in an open top car or, on rare occasions opts to walk. Waving to the crowds like royalty and parting the assembled masses as he moves forward is all par for the course that usually sees a fellow sekitori of the same stable or group of stables sitting or walking beside the yusho winner and carrying the championship flag. The picture seen here is of Mongolian Ozeki Hakuho, winner of the May 2006, Natsu Basho, as he makes his way back to Miyagino Beya after having been dropped off by the car. |
