Summary
| Description |
English:
Sekiwake
Tanikaze Kajinosuke
(right) and
Onogawa Kisaburō
(left) are given tsuna belts (shimenawa) representing their future status of yokozuna. They are the first wrestlers in sumo history to be given this status in their lifetime. At the time, the rank of yokozuna was more of an honorary title and wrestlers weren't designated as such in the banzuke, hence explaining why the two wrestlers are promoted while being ranked at sekiwake.
