Wrestlers from Shikoroyama stable took part in the 'Mikka-zumo' festival at Imi Shrine in Chofu, Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, on November 3, the Asahi Shimbun reports. The event, an offering to the shrine's Arakuma Inari shrine, prays for a good harvest through sumo, with elementary through high school students wrestling on a dohyo set up in the grounds. Stablemaster Shikoroyama, a native of Toyoura in Shimonoseki, attended with Abi and Seigo, and the children did butsukari-geiko with the wrestlers.
