The Kyokai updated its official Instagram account today, sharing
behind-the-scenes photos from the sumo dedication ceremony held at Yasukuni
Shrine in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, on the 13th. With cherry blossoms and fresh
greenery in the background, most of the rikishi, barefoot and wearing their
kesho mawashi, stood tall for commemorative photos, but Ichiyamamoto ),
standing next to Ura ), was the only one doing his signature "peace sign."
The post has garnered attention for the peace sign, with comments such as
"There it is! Peace Ichiyamamoto," "Ichiyamamoto's peace sign is reliably
good," "Ichiyamamoto's signature peace sign is always consistent, that's
great," and "Ichiyamamoto gives off a strong school trip vibe."

Ichiyamamoto making waves on the social front, by giving the "peace" sign,
something not prevalent in official sumo photos..
