Ōtake Stable
is a heya (sumo), stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Nishonoseki group of stables. History The stable was established in 1971 as Taihō stable by the 48th Yokozuna (sumo), ''yokozuna'' Taihō Kōki upon his retirement from wrestling. The stable branched off from Nishonoseki stable (1911-2013), Nishonoseki stable. The first ''sekitori'' the stable produced was Shishihō Yoshimasa, Shishihō in 1977. The most successful wrestler was Ōzutsu Takeshi, Ōzutsu, who reached the rank of ''sekiwake.'' In May 1981 Taihō was persuaded by the editor of the English language sumo magazine ''Sumo World'' to accept a foreign wrestler, Philip Smoak of Texas, who was with the stable for just two months. In 2003 Taihō passed control of the stable on to his son-in-law, former ''sekiwake'' Takatōriki since Taihō was approaching the age for mandatory retirement from the Japan Sumo Association.

Cannabis
''Cannabis'' () is a genus of flowering plants in the family Cannabaceae that is widely accepted as being indigenous to and originating from the continent of Asia. However, the number of species is disputed, with as many as three species being recognized: '' Cannabis sativa'', '' C. indica'', and '' C. ruderalis''. Alternatively, ''C. ruderalis'' may be included within ''C. sativa'', or all three may be treated as subspecies of ''C. sativa'', or ''C. sativa'' may be accepted as a single undivided species. The plant is also known as hemp, although this term is usually used to refer only to varieties cultivated for non-drug use. Hemp has long been used for fibre, seeds and their oils, leaves for use as vegetables, and juice. Industrial hemp textile products are made from cannabis plants selected to produce an abundance of fibre. ''Cannabis'' also has a long history of being used for medicinal purposes, and as a recreational drug known by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kanreki Dohyo-iri
In the Sinosphere, one's sixtieth birthday has traditionally held special significance. Especially when life expectancies were shorter, the sixtieth birthday was seen as a symbolic threshold for reaching old age and having lived a full life. This birthday is known as ''jiazi'' in Chinese, ''kanreki'' in Japanese, and in Korean. Description The traditional lunisolar calendars in the Sinosphere (Chinese calendar, Japanese calendar, Korean calendar) observe sexagenary cycles: cycles of sixty years. Thus, living sixty years had special significance as one completed a full cycle. Some saw it as the start of a second lifetime, and thus as an opportunity to give up some responsibility and return to enjoying life as children do. Korea In Korea, the sixtieth birthday is known as ''hwangap'', ''hoegap'' (), ''jugap'' (), ''gapnyeon'' (), or ''hwallyeok'' (). The sixtieth birthday is according to one's age per the international reckoning and not by Korean age. In other words, one's ...
