During every basho held 6 times per year, sumo wrestlers belong to 序ノ口, 序二段, 三段目 and 幕下 have 7 bouts. They starts from around 9 : 00 to let the highest 幕内 finish until 18 : 00. That is why the venue opens at 8 : 30. “We would come one day before next time”, Shin told Mei-Shun. “…then all shops and matches are available”. She feels pleased to see him satisfied.
Lunar October starts from today. Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun returned from 福岡 — it was their 1st experience to enjoy sumo in person, while on 初日=the 1st of this 15-day tournament. All different from one seen on TV, wrestlers and 行司 referees in kimono looked like pretty dolls. It might be thanks to nice distance toward 土俵 ring and lighting.
Thanks a million, 二所ノ関部屋. They sent Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun a 番付表 of 九州場所 starts from coming Sunday with them in person. It rains from midnight, stormy wind continued until noon. Tokyo recorded historic 3rd 夏日 in November yesterday, might have 4th today. On the contrary, they say next rainfall on Friday would bring cold air — the wife might put on a coat on kimono.
Shin, Mei-Shun and Mikan-chan got up at 4 : 00 this morning. Night stars were brilliant in dark sky, waiting for sunrise a few minutes before 6 : 00 to fade out. The husband had to arrive at Haneda Airport to board the 1st plane for Hiroshima. On the other hand, the wife and her fluffy daughter at usual horsey riding club in the afternoon. It is quite hotter than yesterday, isn’t it?
Mei-Shun went to a hair salon nearby Tokyo Station yesterday. Blue sky nicely accommodated her friend views through train windows; Ushiku Pond, a cup noodle maker’s factory and Skytree. Mikan-chan, thanks a trillion for accompanying mom. You see, she plans to visit another shop tomorrow. Both of her home beauticians give hair care in a week, thanks to dad.
Mei-Shun prefers the former if they are in groups respectively. Or them in minds are welcomed as well. Her horsey riding club employed many women as instructors before, while growing number of young men in classes gives her a bit problem these days. She therefore asked Shin to drive toward another in Ibaraki on weekend. Oh, not Princess Maria yet Ms. Angel is here.
Mom-in-law returned from 3-night trip to 旭川, Hokkaido. She looks quite satisfied, gave Mei-Shun above souvenirs. “Younger grandson pushed my wheelchair in 旭山動物園, while CAs on/off flights”, she said. “However, nothing comes into my ears after arriving at 茨城空港”. Please take an enough rest. Happy voice of your son would be the first to reach them tonight.
Mei-Shun safely received a pair of tickets for sumo 九州場所, to visit with Shin and Mikan-chan. Oh, 正 means “front”, the same angle as we see bouts on TV. Since it was said seats had been invisible until Saturday, they did not know which would be theirs among 4; above 正面, 向正面, 東 and 西. Only concern here is if they could recognize winners without audio commentaries.
Mei-Shun won a ticket for sumo basho held in November at 福岡. It is birthplace of her beloved father, something might lead his younger daughter. She actually tried to get one for 両国, Tokyo from Sunday yet failed — well, many buffs of this sport prefer better access. Since she was joking when participated in a kind of raffle draw on the net, a message to inform on success almost shocked her.
Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet at noon to visit a hospital in 牛久 for annual check up today. Her previous one was at the beginning of March, just one week before seeing Dr. A. It was a bit too hard to have twice a month, so she chose August for the former. September would find her at another hospital in 土浦. By the way, it is also tough to go under such fierce sunshine, isn’t it?
