An Australian Couple

I guided an Australian couple to the Oguruma-beya sumo stable. It was the last day for the members to train in 2012 and the TV camera filmed them. A Komusubi ranking wrester, Syohozan, also joined the training from a different stable. All t...he wrestlers were training very hard as usual but the last part, matches between three Makuuchi wrestlers, the high ranking wrestlers, was so exciting. I was also moved by the stable master, the former Oozeki Kotokaze. He was in a hospital due to his neck injury. He was said to have miraculously recovered and today, he entered the training room by himself in the middle of the training and advised his wrestlers while rehabilitating himself using some tools. After the practice, three Sekitori wrestlers allowed me to take their pictures with my guests. Thank you very much for all Oguruma-beya members and thank you for Kotokaze! He showed us his unconquerable spirit and gave me encouragement.See More

An Australian Mother

An Australian mother with four children visited my house to learn how to make three types of sushi. She is so good at cooking that she succeeded in making a perfect shaped roll sushi in the traditional way, using a bamboo mat, on her second try. She told me that she would surprise her friends by making delicious sushi at her party.
