Did you get to meet any of the rikishi during the day?  I attended the
exibition several times and it was a great experience.  I met and had a
nice chats with Kyokudozan and Kotofuji a couple of years ago.  I also got
to see Chiyonofuji and Hokutoumi up close and personal.  It was rather easy
to talk with the guys at the Yasukuni Jinja since all were sitting ouside
on display and they thought I was a rater odd gaijin I think.  It is
definitely and enjoyable experience, I'm jealous ;-).
