Today, the Natsu Jungyo arrived at Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture.
Yokozuna Oonosato  did sumo with sekitori for the first time on this tour,
winning all nine matches against Fujiryouga. He had been absent from the
11th to the 15th due to treatment for his left shoulder. Looking ahead to
Aki Basho, where he aims to win his first yusho in a year, he spoke
positively, saying, "My body was moving well. There are no problems, so I
will do my best." In Nagoya, his first basho back after missing two
consecutive ones, he finally secured a kachikoshi on the 14th day, but was
forced to go through some tough battles with a record of 9-6 . "I had
decided that I would absolutely not miss any basho. Losing is an
experience, winning is an experience. I gained a lot," he reflected. The
venue has a covered dohyo that was donated in 2014 by the Sumo Rikishis'
Association, which consists of Sekitori, in response to the 2011 Great East
Japan Earthquake. Oonosato, who visited the area before his match, said, "I
felt something when I saw the scenery around town. I may not be able to
encourage people through sumo, but I want to show everyone a good
performance."
