Arrived in Tokyo today and sat in the Kokugikan extremely tired for the last 3 hours.

So only a few pics with a yamamotoyama special.

Danke schön... merci beaucoup :D

Really hope one day Takanoyama can make it to have confrontations with a humungus like YMY...

These pictures are of professional quality, no less. You are very talented (and we are very lucky to have the opportunity to see your work). Thank you very much. I very much apreciated the ones with Kakizoe licking his hand or the "smile" of Tokitenku which were funny. For me too, the one with Kotomitsuki is the most impressive and one of my favourite.

[Fayme_Kln]

Was so tired yesterday night that I couldn't care for the pics.

So here they are with the jonokuchi, jonidan and makushita yusho winners and with Yamamotoyama relaxing with a big meal. A little interview with him will soon follow.

Thank you so much for all these beautiful pics, Fay :D

[pereboulon]

C'est dingue le nombre de sekitori avec des bandages énormes autour des poignets.

Pictures are just great, as usual. I can't wait to see your interview with Yamamotoyama. You seem to know him well. Thanks a lot for all this.

Went to Miyagino Beya in the morning, only wanted to bring something for my adoptee Hokazan but ran into former Kyokushuzan. So I went in, the room was packed with mongolian visitors. Kyokushuzan brought some mongolian children to Japan, sponsored partly by a mongolian bank. They took part at the training this morning. Later they were in the Kokugikan to cheer for their fellow countrymen.

So we have today

Better and better ! You seem to have a special talent to take pictures of Kotomitsuki. The pics from Miyagino beya are very very nice (and unusual).

The picture from the tsuna is astonishing with all its details. I also liked the one frome Kokkai a lot (very funny smile). The slap from Kotomitsuki in Kaio's face is also a must. To be short : everything is great.

Thank you very much. Is there any chance you come to London next year to follow the sekitori ?

As Pereboulon just said up there, your pics are more and more professionnal (and beautiful). Thank you so much to share them with us :D

[Sanae]

I just agree about all what are said about your pictures, fantastic for sumo fans like us, and professional quality for the others.
To be in the good place at the right time and to let you shot the good one!!
Thank very much indeed !!!
Take care

[dohko57]

I have also noticed the London Jungyo in 2009 and I will make my best to be there and see all the rikishi with my own eyes : it would be great !!

I also appreciate Kotomitsuki, so it is a chance you like him and take a lot of your good pictures of him.

We will be quite a few french to go to London to see rikishi, we will meet then and I'm already impatient to meet you and take pictures too (X-philohana and Tadanobu also have great cameras, Alban too, I hope they will be with us for the journey).

[toonoryu]

Y a-t-il déjà quelque chose sur ce jungyo, site internet ou autre ?

Is there already something about the jungyo available, on the internet or anywhere else ?
