According to a long tradition established in 1970, the Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Japan presents the winner of the Grand Sumo Tournament with a diploma and a hand-cut cup made of Czech crystal by Czech company Moser Glassworks. This year during the closing ceremony the Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Japan, Mr. Martin Klučar, awarded the winner komusubi Onosato with a diploma and a cup made by Moser Glassworks.

Komusubi Onosato has prevailed over sekiwake Abi in the thrilling finals of the Tournament. That made him the new komusubi wrestler to win the Grand Sumo Tournament in the last 67 years. Also, this marks the fastest championship in the history of the Grand Sumo, with just seven tourneys since the komusubi Onosato’s debut.

Congratulations to the winner of the May Grand Sumo Tournament!
