Re: [sumo related] Geisha dohyo-iri

Still no pictures of the dohyo-iri, but now it's revealed that it will be
shiranui-style.

That makes it easy to guess that the actress would like Waka to teach her
the moves.
Wakanohana had chosen this rare and ill-famed style for his dohyo-iri,
while the remaining 3 yokozuna do it unryu-style.

So far only videos of his dohyo-iri are used.
But today's entertainment (geinou) news ask the question "Will Sayuri
become a pupil of Fujishima-oyakata ?"
