[sumo] Tatsunami Oyakata and Heya

[moti <sumo@dichne.com>]

Tatsunami beya is moving. Tatsunami Oyakata is embroiled in a legal 
battle against the former Oyakata.Current Oyakata and former 
Asahiyutaka, who was quite a looker in his heyday, married the former 
Tatsunami's (ex-Sekiwake Haguroyama)daughter, and was adopted by the 
Oyakata as well. Rumours were already flying back then that it was a 
"marriage of convenience". Trouble started pretty quick, money and 
personal stuff, leading to the adoption being annuled, and an ensuing 
divorce. Then, litigation, where current Oyakata lost a bundle. Now, he 
is slated to evacuate the heya premises by the end of the month. The 
heya is moving to a four story building nearby. The last "evacuation" of 
a heya was during the air-raids of WWII, but it is a first ever 
peacetime evacuation.
The "consecration" of the new dohyo will be held on the 31st of this 
month. It consisits of, among other things, a dohyo-iri. Tatsunami 
Oyakata has decided that the tachimochi will be Kyoukutenhou, and the 
tsuyuharai will be Kyokushuuzan, since they both belong to the same 
Ichimon,(Tatsunami-Isegahama)and because Tasunami have no Sekitori at 
this stage.
Now, we need a Yokozuna.. Asashouryuu or Musashimaru? " I haven't 
decided who to ask", said Tatsunami Oyakata. Now, if he goes for Asa, 
that would be a full-fledged Mongolian Dohyo-iri, would it not? 
Reporters are already calling it the "RECONCILIATION DOHYO-IRI"...
