2012.5.20

It was cloudy.
It was the last day of natsu basho (夏場所) the May Grand Sumo Tournament.  Kyokutenho (旭天鵬), 37 years old, from Mongolia became a champion by 12 to 3.  This is his first victory.  He is the oldest wrestler that became a champion for the first time at his age.   There are 27 wrestlers who are from Mongolia, and this is 50th victory for them.
The other big news was the festival in Asakusa (浅草) called sanja matsuri (三社祭).  This is the 700th anniversary.
