| SUMO IN TOKYO 2015 |
|
| Even without Takanoyama who just got retired after Nagoya-basho
in 2014 now back in Praha Czech, it will
be more than Sumo when you see all the fights
including Ichinojo (Mongolia, over 200kg!), Aoiyama (Bulgaria), Amuru (Russia, named after the river Amur), Tochinoshin (Georgia), Gagamaru (Georgia), Kaisei (Brazil), Masunoyama (Philippine) and more. And very first African wrestler OSunaArashi (BigSanderStorm) from Egypt is fighting
to reach the summit of pyramid. All those
listed in high ranking sumo wrestlers earn
more than a million yen each month (good
job you'd consider?). 40 years old can still
fight in the front line like Kyokutenho (Mongolian already obtained a Japanese
passport). If you were in Tokyo area during
Tokyo Tounament, please have this chance
to visit Ryogoku which is just accross Sumida river away from Asakusa. |
