Despite the headline making it sound like the changes are only for amateur sumo, I believe they apply to professional-level sumo as well; am I reading it right? That's half the fun of watching the match. Drawing out the tachiai is part of the ritual!

I think the Japan Sumo Federation is different from the Japan Sumo Association, I don't think this impacts Ozumo at all.

The oldest Amateur Championships date back to the year 1915. The years mentioned in that paragraph seem to indicate that they are not talking about the JSA.

At some point I was trying to figure out how to get the better sumo seats (I ended up giving up and buying through buysumotickets again). I ended up signing up for the official sumo fan club where they do a lottery system to buy tickets, and they email with all kinds of interesting promotions that I can't read. I guess they made some digital trading cards and this cracked my poo poo up:

Elephant Ambush posted:Use Google lens Somehow I never considered this for translating text on pictures, despite using it extensively while traveling. Translate actually does a decent job with the printed text. But specifically why I was sharing this picture is the middle card of Endo(?) making that smirk in his training mawashi.

My brain was telling me it was Kirishima, but then I was confused by the surrounding pictures of Endo

Strangely, that is two very slightly different pictures of Endo rather than the same picture twice, like I originally thought. Anyway the other one is definitely Kirishima though I would guess the picture is from before the name change.

If you learn four or five common kanji for maybe shima, no, taka, and like.. yama, you can probably pick out 80% of rikishi based on a picture and "something-yama -- oh yeah! kore-wa-pen-desu-yama". That's how I stumble through some of the rikishi I sometimes forget exist
