It's now been announced that the May basho in Tokyo will not take place,
and the July basho,traditionally held in Nagoya,may be moved to Tokyo.

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.

I thought I had posted this already.
The Kyokai has decided not to hold the May basho at all,
and the July basho is proposed to be moved from Nagoya to
Tokyo and held without spectators as was the case in March.

There has been a basho cancellation because of the gambling scandal
a few years ago...not sure if they have ever moved one from its planned site.

(Sorry I just double-posted this after getting sidetracked in another thread).
