Sumo in Tokyo

We got caught up in sumo while living in Tokyo and went to many tournaments as well as attending private events where we met some of the sumotori.

Have to post old images for a while now since I can’t even take pics one-handed with my iPhone. Surgery is now on Wednesday instead of Tuesday!

What an iconic moment!
I love the feeling here.

Even a day delay is frustrating. Hope there's no more hiccups and all goes smoothly.
