Dear Andy

Thanks for your reply. 

On a completely separate issue I have recently started subscribing to 
Sumo World, which I used to get in Japan at the local store, after a 
gap of a couple of years.  I enjoyed the articles etc very much, 
and liked the new (to me) comments section form Juryo rikishi. 

However,  one thing I noticed before I left Japan was that ever 
since Akebono became yokozuna the 'ten' from his name in Kanji has 
been apparently been missing, although I never got round to 
commenting on it....  Is this my imagination or are the pressures of 
Yokozuna a form of hell that replaces the heavenly realm that Ozeki 
is....? :-)

Best wishes

Peter
