I love Sumo and was able to visit the Tatsunami beya (stable) for a practice. It was 1 and 1/2 hours of watching mem do rather incredible things with their giant bodies.
The stable is one of the most prestigious in sumo. It was founded in 1876 by Onigazaki, but the current incarnation dates from 1915. In the 1930s, led by former komusubi Midorishima (1878-1952), the stable produced the 35th yokozuna Futabayama, the 36th yokozuna Haguroyama and ōzeki Nayoroiwa.
