Nakajima Ki-27 (Nate) - 九七式戦闘機: Two photos from a vintage magazine taken during the donation ceremony of a Nakajima Ki-27 (Nate) at Tokyo's Tachikawa airfield on February 2, 1939. Donations for this Nate,
Aikoku #313, were gathered from about 70 Sumo wrestlers (
rikishi/sekitori) and Sumo Association members; therefore it was called "
Sumo-go".
The Sumo wrestlers were all from the
Juryo and
Makuuchi divisions and one of the most famous Sumo wrestlers of all times,
Yokozuna Futabayama, performed the
Dohyoiri ceremony.
