Aonishiki! Third yusho Return to Ozeki Technique Prize First sekiwake to win the yusho in the basho after falling from ozeki. What an amazing wrestler. Now, heal your body and come back even better! I think Aonishiki will be a yokozuna by this time next year.
Aonishiki wins his 4th technique award and 7th special awardoverall! Also, Atamfuji wins the fighting spirt award. Takayasu, Fujiroga, Kotoeiho, and Takerufuji can win the fighting spirt award with a win today. Fujinokawa can win the outstanding performance award with a win today! #sumo
庭の断捨離！ 思い切って庭の木を切り落としました。結構さっぱりしました。 これで日が家内の紫陽花やバラに届くので毎年の花が楽しみです。 #japan #kagoshima #kirishima #danshari #断捨離
Questions going into the last 3 days of Nagoya Basho Will Kirishima be promoted with a 13-2 record? Will Onosato drop out before make-koshi? Can Kotozakura escape kadoban? Can Aonishiki win the yusho on a bum foot? Is Hoshoryu becoming a kunroku yokozuna? Is Atamifuji making a move for ozeki? #suko
The World Cup may be over, but I can't wait for the Davis Cup to continue in September! #TennisSky #tennis
While the world raves on about the football World Cup, I feel fortunate that my favorite sport has its own World Cup. And it's held every November. #tennis 2025 Italy 2024 Italy 2023 Italy 2022 Canada 2021 Russia 2019 Spain 2018 Croatia 2017 France 2016 Argentina 2015 United Kingdom 2014 Switzerland
Russell Crowe and Michelle Yeoh My two favorite actors. I've always hoped they would do a movie or show together. It could be absolutely amazing. #russellcrowe #michelleyeoh
Just a quick video from the second floor of my home in Kagoshima, Japan. You can see the top of the Sakurajma volcano over the green roof across the street. The video is in Japanese!
Came to Japan when I was 27. I'm 62 now. I've lived in Japan for 35 years. I've lived in Japan eight years longer than in America. That surprising fact hits me sometimes. You can't choose where you're born or raised but you can choose where you make a life. #Kagoshima #鹿児島 #霧島
The Sumo Game! Pick ten wrestlers who you think will win, put them in the order you want, and go up against your opponent's picks to see who wins. Every day during the basho. Great fun for a sumo fan. この相撲ゲーム楽しいですよ！試してみてください。ゲームの番付が出るまでに申し込んでください！大相撲 www.japan-guide.com/sumo/
That was Sinner's first grass court match and he'll probably work his way into championship form. But he sure did look shaky today. #TennisSky #Wimbledon #ATP #tennis
If you're an American citizen living overseas, America and the world needs your vote to get the Trump/MAGA filth and the spineless worthless GOP out! If you haven't signed up, please do!
Watching #TinyHomeTours on YouTube makes me appreciate my modest (maybe not quite tiny) home in Japan even more. Many people are getting rid of excess stuff in their lives and living more simply. Who needs a giant house with stuff you never use? And no huge yard to mow! We love our tiny home!
This Reflecting Pool debacle has made my week. It's better than the World Cup. #Trump #Moron #ReflectingPool
Casper Ruud! He does it! He goes from two sets down and takes out Paul to move on to the 4th round! YES! Go, Casper! #tennis #frenchopen2026 #frenchopen #casperruud
Heat and long matches used to be a warning for Jannick Sinner, but now it's a blaring red alert. Other players now believe they have a chance if they pass the 3-hour mark in the heat. That career grand slam will be tougher to achieve moving forward. Also, same rules for everyone, please.
Japan, Kagoshima, Kirishima. Shitai Beach Beautiful but very hot and humid day. The Sakurajma volcano is sitting in the middle of Kagoshima Bay and erupting a bit.
Two months ago, everyone was raving about the new "Big Three," Onosato, Hoshoryu, and Aonishiki. Two months, all thee are out with injuries. Nothing is guaranteed in the sport of #sumo. #sumowrestling #大相撲
Since I was a kid, I always liked the San Francisco 49ers. I think maybe it had something to do with my birthday, April 9. Plus they had cool uniforms. And then Joe Montana came on the scene. #SanFrancisco #49ers #April9
日曜日の朝のウォーキング中に撮った桜島。今朝は静かです。 A view of the volcano Sakurajima during my Sunday morning walk. #kirishima #kagoshima #japan
