It's a publishing fairy tale. 'Hansel and Gretel' is reimagined by Stephen King and Maurice Sendak An upcoming edition of “Hansel and Gretel” combines the dark and singular talents of two literary giants who apparently never met: Stephen King and the late Maurice Sendak.

So would you say the “crush of over tourism” is more keenly felt in the past two years since so many service sector jobs were lost in the pandemic and those workers have not returned to those jobs?

But let’s be frank- the huge surge in the past few years is 100% attributable to the weak yen. Tourists are flooding in since everything is “cheaper” than ever before.

I’m having a double cheeseburger with the onion-potato set at MOS Burger for lunch today. What are you having?

Update:

Hoshoryu's chosen dohyo-iri / rope style is Unryu, the same as Asashoryu.

He will be taught the ritual on the 30th by Musashigawa oyakata (former Musashimaru), following the custom, wherein a former Yokozuna from the same ichimon is the teacher.

A Look Ahead to the March Banzuke

Congratulations to Ozeki Hoshoryu (12-3) on his second yusho. After a shaky start, with 3 losses in the first 9 days, he won his final 6 bouts, plus two more in the playoff. This run included victories over his two fellow Ozeki and Sekiwake Daieisho (11-4).…

This is one big-ass fish.

Might be an appearance by a famous or important person at the Kokugikan today. The Emperor or Prime Minister perhaps?

Fresh from the oven, a farewell video for Yokozuna Terunofuji, from Isegahama beya.

It includes his thoughts during the day of his retirement, and expressions of gratitude from his heya mates.

Terunofuji’s retirement officially announced. He will stay in kyokai and use Terunofuji as his elder stock - a privilege he is allowed to have for 5 years (the he’ll need to find an existing open elder stock).

The 73rd Yokozuna, Terunofuji, has expressed his intention to retire.

(Note: Japanese newspapers don't use the word "intai" if it's not a done deal)

January 16.
Terunofuji has announced his retirement.

Contrary to earlier statements this week of feeling well and wanting nothing more than to compete for the yusho, Yokozuna Terunofuji confessed to a different story today.

Yokozuna Terunofuji has announced his retirement.

Yes. After I read the article I could see that we’re basically in agreement.

Yokozuna Terunofuji has pulled out of the January Basho. 😟

Yes it’s still wide open, but I have to say Hoshoryu looks to be very much in the driver’s seat

Isegahama beya's latest video - making the rope. Or is it ropes? It looks like they are making more than one.

Also the Meiji shrine dohyo iri.

Are we really going to see a double Yokozuna promotion? On top of all the normal excitement for the first basho of the year, Hatsu 2025 brings the added anticipation of a potential double Yokozuna promotion. With Kotozakura and Hoshoryu both on rope runs, how likely are we to see two new Yokozuna in March? Taken individually, both men are in range of “normal” pre-Yokozuna careers. Since 1958, wrestlers promoted to Yokozuna have needed an average of 32 tournaments in makuuchi to achieve the rank.
