The Jungyo arrived in Fuchu City, Tokyo today, with ever so popular Ura
taking on 18 bouts against opponents including Komusubi Atamifuji.
According to the wakaimonogashira accompanying the tour, he has
participated in all 24 days of keiko bouts so far, with the exception of
the two days of ceremonial sumo matches. The 33-year-old skilled rikishi
humbly said, "I am grateful that I can practice." His sharp techniques
remain intact, as he used thrusts, pushes, and tenacious fighting to throw
Atamifuji with a katasukashi. During the tour, he aims to get eight hours
of sleep and wakes up at 6 a.m., two hours before leaving the lodgings.
"It's good to be awake when I arrive at the venue, and my body moves well.
However, I don't want to be bound by a routine, and I want to be flexible,"
he said. He has suffered double-digit losses in the last two tournaments,
so a comeback is expected.  Fujinokawa, who had been sidelined since the
15th due to neck pain, is scheduled to return from Saitama City on the
24th. The spring tour will continue until the 26th.
