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,
