The Nagoya Basho is about to begin! In this season when both the sun and fans are getting fired up for exciting sumo, heat countermeasures are essential.
This time, SuMALL has prepared a folding umbrella for both sun and rain!
[Folding Umbrella / SUMO-TORI Pattern, Rikishi Pattern]
With a UV cut rate of 99.9%, it thoroughly protects you from direct sunlight. After a sudden rain, it comes with a cover in the same pattern, so you can safely put it in your bag after use!
This time, too, we asked many sekitori to cooperate with the photoshoot to promote our goods.
We also took pictures of them with their backs turned so you could see the umbrella patterns. Try to guess which rikishi it is 👀
[1] Whose back is this?
Hint: A muscular Jūryō rikishi from Kansai.

The correct answer is Asakoryu.
As soon as he saw the umbrella, he praised it saying, "This is really good!" He then actively posed, asking, "Is this how you want it?"
How wonderful!

You can vaguely tell from the yukata he's wearing!

He even displayed a seasoned comedic touch, trying to walk away with the umbrella still open.
【3】Whose backs are these? It's a pair.

Cute, if I may say so.
【Last】Whose backs are these?

Photogenic...!
Also, Bushoyama, who returned to the Makuuchi division this basho.
Cute, if I may say so.
The Kokonoe-beya duo Chiyo-ei & Chiyoshoma (who also performed a seasoned comedic bit, trying to walk away with the umbrella still open, following Myogiryu).
Terunofuji, the "Masaharu Fukuyama of the sumo world" (according to Takadagawa Oyakata).
Thank you all for your cooperation!
