When going out of violation Tsukaze boss is "demoted" Matsugane boss is "blamed" October 1st 22:01
The Japan Sumo Association has dismissed Tokizu-style master as a second-class demotion and Matsugane master as a disciplinary measure for "blame" for going out unnecessarily and urgently in violation of the behavioral restrictions notified to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus. ..
The Japan Sumo Association held a board meeting at the Kokugikan in Tokyo and Ryogoku on the 1st, and about the disposition of the two masters who had been refraining from going out in the fall, etc. for violating the behavioral restrictions notified to prevent the spread of infection. We talked.
According to a survey by the Sumo Association, Tokitsuumi Masahiro of the former Makuuchi Tokitsuumi traveled to Miyagi prefecture from September 4th to 5th after the announcement of the numbering of autumn places where unnecessary and unurgent going out was prohibited, and ate and drank at a bar. It means that he was going to golf.
The Sumo Association has been disciplined by Tokitsu-style masters in the past, and even though he has to strictly regulate himself from the standpoint of instructing his disciples, frivolous acts are unforgivable and the responsibility for actions is heavy. It was a disciplinary measure for the second class "demotion" to the side.
On the other hand, in the former Makuuchi, Tamarikidō's master Matsugane was frivolous while the members of the association endured a cramped life because he had eaten out with his family four times during the period when unnecessary and unurgent going out was prohibited. The prominent and generous disposition resulted in disciplinary action of "blame" because it could not be shown to other members of the association.
Mr. Shibatayama, the director of the Japan Sumo Association's public relations department, said, "We have set a period of time to issue guidelines and call attention, so we want you to act accordingly." The Sumo Association once again infected all members of the association. We have issued a notice to ensure compliance with the guidelines for prevention of spread and behavioral regulations.
