Other than Haiti, I can’t think of a country that Mother Nature has treated more shabbily in the past decade than Japan. I’m sure all of us at Tachiai are thinking nothing but good thoughts to all those souls adversely affected by the latest tremors. Best of luck to everyone in the Osaka area.
Puerto Rico is still in terrible shape…….
@RalphL Well, Puerto Rico has the misfortune to be part of America and we all know why those folks have been ignored for months and months and months.
Just a reminder: Isegahama beya is currently in a training camp at Sakai, Osaka.
They seem to be safe.
(Tweet by a former Isegahama rikishi. The last sentence says “Isegahama beya, who are currently training in Sakai, are safe”).
