From the album: Mercian’s Miscellany
A screenshot from the BBC coverage of Day One (2025-10-15) of the official Grand Sumo 5-day (non-championship) tournament at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
While this isn't an actual Honbasho, the RAH is the only venue outside of Japan that has ever hosted an official Grand Sumo tournament.
It first hosted one in 1991, and now it is hosting its second!
I chose this image to capture in a screenshot because I liked the juxtaposition of the Union Flag with the Nisshōki/Hinomaru.
