A day with The Count and Kotoeko

In place of my planned report on the (cancelled) 2020 Kashiwa Basho, I take you back to last year's Kashiwa sumo event and my memorable meetings with sumo figures past and present, wrapped in imagery from Japan's many intriguing faces.

Chris, I envy your experiences in the best way possible and praise the results of your efforts in the sumo world. Thank you for sharing it all with us.

Sumo story time 👍

I like Kotoeko. Him and Shohozan are that representation of rikishi of old before the 70s. Always struck me as a pretty self-conscious kind of guy from his mannerism and interviews.

Kotoeko and Sadanoumi always remind me of kabuki actors.

that's such a great story Chris. Happy you had the opportunity to meet him!

Thank you for keeping this parched sumo fan afloat with your little tidbits of delicious sumo moments. You're a small glimmer of light during the sumo blackout.

In a parallel universe you would diverge.
