As they have done with the last several basho, the public is not allowed to attend the dedication and consecration of the dohyo for this Tokyo-hosted Haru basho. Instead they offer the public a chance to see it live streamed via YouTube. Start time is 8:00 PM Eastern US time, 5:00 PM Pacific US time Friday. The video quality is usually less than amazing, but it does offer anyone in the world a chance to see this unique and important ceremony without getting on a plane to Japan.
Thanks for the live stream!
