Keiko-Soken with a Couple from Australia

The Yokozuna Promotion Committee is the most important sumo-related board which recommends a strong sumo wrestler to become a Yokozuna, the highest rank of sumo wrestlers. Before a tournament held in Tokyo, high ranking wrestlers called Sekitori do their morning training in front of the members of the Committee, which is called Keiko-Soken in Japanese. Sometimes it is open to the public. I guided a nice Australian couple to this event in Kokugikan Arena. Luckily, we could get a box seat near the ring. My guests and I really enjoyed their exciting matches. — at Ryogoku Kokugikan Sumo Arena.
