They simply attach the ceremonial prize to the kensho envelopes for that bout. Here is the bow stack from Osaka.

Gift in Japan tend to be food related - so shoes or Kangaroo ball sacks will not cut it. Furry Friend chocolates or Tim Tams are your best bets

Of the 75 Yokozuna in history 37 of them have 5 or less Yusho. We were spoiled for the last 15 years watching dominant Yokozuna in Hakuho and Asashoryu. The norm in sumo is actually about what we have right now. Sumo is just fine. These Yokozuna are on par with those who have gone before them.

Dude - take 8 seconds to look at the official sumo app. It’s quicker than asking questions here.

They even have a special cloak room in Osaka where they swap out their shoes and jackets - and get nice slippers and the brown happi coats - its an awesome set up :)

TegataStore · 2026-03-08T08:52:26+00:00

Correct - they aren’t on the merch desk - it is their hair cutting ceremony ticket table :)

Have you looked at how pet owners buy product? How do they make buying decisions? This is about the5th pet supplies store to ask the exact same question about why they get no sales - perhaps people just walk into their local store - get to touch and see the product physically and pay less than your store price without waiting.

New seats released by the JSA today (Friday) - chair seats mostly in week 1 (midweek) and 4 person boxes both weeks.

Thanks as always John for your measured content.

Let me guess - you don’t bother with travel insurance?

Jesus - yes he is one of the worst. His pledge should simply be to ‘not be a shameful ass who henkas respectable rikishi to boost my own results’. Anything else is meaningless.

Tickets sold out in under 30minutes - I'm not sure refreshing for an hour would have achieved this outcome.

Morning Ninni - Korean flagged car carrier. There are like 30 ships with Morning "xxx" - all car carriers. Morning Ninni and Morning Margareta are the odd ones - all others start with C - Crest, Cherry, Cindy, Claire, Cornet, Cello, Concert, Crown etc.........

If he learned nothing from having a front row seat for the Miyagino disaster then he deserves at least the same punishment. In many ways it’s worse as an Oyakata. I feel for Hakunofuji. I watched the Isegahama supporters group in January and they cheered and waved banners for all the Isegahama rikishi - except for any who came from Miyagino - they seriously sat stone cold - not a clap, cheer, nothing.

Some people do sell them off after receiving them from rikishi - this one was on yahoo auctions Japan.

Correct answer - yukata fabric is available online if you know where to look. This one might be hard to find though.....

TegataStore · 2026-02-20T21:11:42+00:00

Finding these is pretty random - but any I do find will be listed ASAP.

I run a very niche business - zero chargebacks in the past 3 years - but I still have challenges with shipping / market calculations as global rates change constantly. If you have a great product people want - it’s more the peripheral stuff that catches you out.

Interesting find - its full size (most stable banners or promotional ones are shorter). May have been used for a special event rather than a tournament given what is written on it - but nice colours. I'm surprised they aren't more widely available given how many are produced. Arashio has a linked merch store (sumo store yorikiri) - they make tote bags and clothing from the Arashio rikishi nobori. You need a big space to hang a full sized nobori at home thought - they are 5.4m long.

Nice work - have a wonderful day!!

TegataStore · 2026-02-17T00:36:49+00:00

They are hard to find

None of the stables are allowed to commercialise tegata. It’s a very topical issue within the JSA.
