@GearoidReidy It's great publicity tho, I mean... you just shared an article that promotes their new game 😉

In the final Day 13 bout, at the Natsu #Basho, the 39th Kimura Shōnosuke gave the win to Kirishima on an utchari. It was his first gunbai-sashichigae (reversed call) as tate-gyōji, + the first such miscall by a chief referee in over a decade. #sumo

World-renowned 🇯🇵 garden designer, Mr Kazuyuki Ishihara, is also a master artist in flower arrangement.
He learned Ikebana (🇯🇵 flower arrangement) by Ikenobo School.
Mr Ishihara created this large stunning floral arrangement in just 10 minutes!! Amazing 👏👏👏

Japan almost never sends #sumo abroad. London in Oct 2025. Paris next month at the @Accor_Arena. Both timed to bilateral security negotiations with those countries. My latest post talks about dohyō diplomacy.

Somenuki season is upon us. I haven't seen many posts but definitely wanted to show off this one from Atamifuji. As a reminder, somenuki are these special yukata worn by Makuuchi wrestlers only during the May, July and September tournaments.
