Japanese Sumo Magazine Recommendations
A query to Japanese subscribers to the list: I was wondering if any of you
had recommendations for a good Japanese-language sumo magazine. I recall
seeing one once which had a section listing each makunouchi rikishi and his
W-L record against all other top rikishi - a very informative guide. Any
suggestions as to which regular magazines are best?
I've found that the vocabulary requirements for reading these magazines is
not prohibitive, and that the interesting content makes for strong
motivation to learn more Japanese. There's one annual guide I get sent to
me which last time included a section on the chanko-nabe restuarants of
Ryogoku, one which is run by Terao!
Thanks for your attention to this.
