Update on the blog I posted ages ago about Kisenosato…
Such a man, with such fighting spirit, retires…and when he does it seems something miraculous has happened to his face!
For a long time he has suffered damage to his Career Palace (centre of forehead). See this closeup…
Then all of a sudden the dark patch and scarring seems to disappear overnight:
Obviously it’s still there, but the colourand qi has changed.
Kisenosato has found his calling and with those phoenix eyes I would not be surprised if he becomes Japan’s most important sumo official within a very short time.
