The winter Grand Sumo Tournament has begun with a live broadcast from Tokyo last night. It came as no surprise that the mysterious lady in white, who is almost a fixture at every bashou, was sitting in full view of the TV cameras in the zone that is her habitue. It is puzzling why she always chooses the seating that is directly in the line of the cameras, knowing full well that she would be on TV. Then again, I guess that that might be the reason. A perfect alibi if one were predisposed to have a crime committed elsewhere. Or perhaps a jealous husband demanding proof that she really is at the sumo?

Here she is on the first day, with Mitakeumi in the foreground, having just won his bout. This was an exciting first day of a tourney that promises much. I think that she is very lucky to have such a spot.
