| This shot was taken right after I shook his big hand. |
 |
| Inside the entrance hallway, there was a long table on the left side with red and white ribbons which served as name tags for distinguished guests (over 300 people who would participate in cutting off the topknot). |
 |
| Closeup of name-tag ribbons. Notice Konishiki's ribbon in the middle row on the right. |
