Sendagawa Oyakata (ex- Akinoshima) has been virtually excommunicated 
from Takanohana Beya. He did show up at the party, but his name was not 
included in the pamphlets distributed at the party, although everyone 
else associated with the heya was mentioned, and he was not introduced 
to the guests when all the others were. Takanohana seems to be adamant 
in making it as hard as possible for him to continue in the Kakkai..
