[sumo] Shikona kanji meaning

["ShiroiKuma" <ShiroiKuma@ShiroiKuma.com>]

Hi:

I looked up the word "shikona" in a dictionary and found out that it's 
written as åèå usually, however the only spelling that Koujien has is éå 
i.e. composed of kanji for "ignoble/dishonorable" and "name".

Well, shikona is a battle name, so I've thought that it was something on the 
other side, i.e. a noble name of sorts. So where would the historical reason 
for it to be a "dishonorable name" lie? Could it stem from the part of 
history where sumou was basically a rough duel for spectators in the streets 
of Japanese cities, carried out by rounin and such, i.e. not a very noble 
occupation?

Anyone know?

Later,

ShiroiKuma
