Sumo¡¯s Autumn Regional Tour has reached Kansai and will continue winding its way westward until it arrives in Yamaguchi prefecture at the end of the month.
From there it¡¯s just a short hop across the Kanmon Straits to Fukuoka, where the November Grand Sumo Tournament will take place, as it has every year since 1957.
This year¡¯s tour, apart from Hakuho¡¯s withdrawal due to injury, has been relatively uneventful.
