Hi all:

After all, I've finished a gigantic task and posted the reports and lots of pictures from the 1st Aomori World Invitational Sumo Tournament, which has been mentioned here.

The Czech team went to Japan for two weeks and after the tourney we stayed at Nihon University (Nichidai) sumo club and practiced there. Nichidai sumo club is the leading university sumo club in Japan.

We also went to practice to Musashigawa-beya and to watch sumo during Natsu-basho 2000.

So, the full report, all the pictures, and how I saw everything personally at my new site:
