Sumo's Autumn Regional Tour has reached Kansai and will continue winding its way westward until it arrives in Yamaguchi prefecture at the end of the month.
From there it's just a short hop across the Kanmon Straits to Fukuoka, where the November Grand Sumo Tournament will take place, as it has every year since 1957.
This year's tour, apart from Hakuho's withdrawal due to injury, has been relatively uneventful.
