In Edo-era | 1) The location place of the sumo group in each place
which rikishi belongs to 2) The name of "Han" of the daimyo that rikishi is engaged It is by being that a coming place was written only in case of not being the above-mentioned. |
In Meiji-era | It wrote down the name of "Kuni" or "Han" where rikishi was born as the principle but the place name which is not the name of "Kuni"(or "Han") was sometimes written, too. |
From May 1934 | the name of "Han" became not used and was changed into
the name of "Kuni" but some exception was left. A coming place was written only in the maku-uchi, juuryou, makushita higher rank part but from this time, it became written by all of rikishi. |
From January 1948 | the name of the Kuni was changed into the prefecture name, but there were some exception left. |
