The world of sumo is very commercialized: if you visit one of the arenas where the honbasho (tournaments) are held, you find stands selling virtually anything sumo-related, including dozens of items with pictures and likenesses of the wrestlers. But if you look closer, you'll see that those in the know will invariably buy a banzuke, the hand-written listings of all the wrestlers competing that provides a complete snapshot of each tournament. The Sumo Banzuke Wrestler Rankings List Notebook is a handy small pad with a banzuke cover!
And not just any banzuke: the one featured on the cover of the Sumo Banzuke Wrestler Rankings List Notebook is a special edition, featuring all the yokozuna grand champions and ozeki champions since the mid-17th century when records started. Written in the special font called sumo-moji (sumo letters) and in the standard banzuke format with the characters getting smaller as you move down the ranks, this 140-page, 143 x 182 x 15 mm (5.6 x 7.2 x 0.6") pad is both practical and a unique sumo souvenir!
