Kanreki dohyō-iri

The ceremony took place at the Ueno Seiyōken, a renowned French cuisine restaurant in Tsukiji (Chūō, Tokyo).

Mienoumi performed an early kanreki dohyō-iri seven months before his 60th birthday, on the 25th anniversary of the founding of Musashigawa stable.

Kagamisato Kiyoji (Tatsutagawa), Tochinoumi Teruyoshi (Kasugano), Sadanoyama Shinmatsu (Sakaigawa) and Kotozakura Masakatsu (Sadogatake) received red tsuna but did not perform dohyō-iri.

Similarly Tochinoumi did not perform due to muscle problems in his right arm dating back to his active days.

Asashio Tarō (Takasago) had a red tsuna made, but died aged 58 without performing the ceremony.
