Add to this offer my beautiful giant handmade mobile 
of possibly injured makunouchi rikishi, all artfully 
depicted in various classic poses.  The figures--each 
easily recognizable as an Actual Rikishi Last Mentioned 
on the SML to Be in Dubious Health--respond to 
gentle wafts of air, spinning round and round to reveal 
"GENKI" on one side and "NOT GENKI"  on the other.  
A quick glance up at the mobile while you're filling out the 
hoshitori grid prior to each basho will give you as good 
an idea as any if your guy will compete or not.

The 3-inch, full-color figures clip onto the attractive black 
wire frame and are fully interchangeable.  You can update 
the mobile by ordering figures of newly injured rikishi for 
a modest charge, making the WHO'S GENKI MOBILE 
a useful fortune-telling device that will last you basho after 
basho.      

If you order both the Tshirt and the mobile prior to the 
Fukuoka tourney, you'll receive ABSOLUTELY FREE 
a WHO'S GENKI heat-sensitive mug, showing your 
favorite Hawaiian rikishi in two poses--wearing yukata 
(cold beverage), or wearing mawashi (hot beverage).
