[sumo] Photo of Hakuho at Meiji Jingu

This proves my point. I am sure many of us learned something new from this post.
 Much more worth while than bickering about whose sumo site is better.
 Thank you both for your posts regarding the choice of styles of the Yokozuna's past and present as far as their performance types for special occasions.

> I have no knowledge of anything specific, other than the fact that
there are two different entrance styles.  That implies to me that, in
the very distant past, the yokozuna had the freedom to choose his own
style.

I await the eventual factual correction that generally follows one of
my posts...

That sounds right to me Joe.  Up until the 1930s everyone had their own
variation.
