Sumo is in the news...

In the news today, Japan has named its first home-grown Sumo grand champion in almost two decades. Japanese born Sumo wrestler Kisenosato (aged 30) has been promoted to the top-most Yokozuna rank after his win in the first tournament of the year. He is the first Japanese wrestler to achieve this status since 1998. In recent years, foreign wrestlers have come to dominate the sport, so this is an important moment for Sumo and for Japan.

 

Quite coincidentally, we have just launched our latest range, called SUMO!

SUMO is a new range of heavyweight, thick boards from FAVINI (from Italy, not Japan!) The range consists of a whopping 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm & 3mm ...seriously chunky!

Below is the new swatch:

...and the great thing is that it is available in both Black and White. Ideal for all your heavyweight requirements, such as invitations, business cards, special covers, swing tags etc...

Hopefully the image below will give you an idea of just how thick it is.

...and below, here's a Biro to give a sense of scale.

All items are available in B1 and we have stock in the UK

It is a seriously thick board, although not as heavy as the 172kgs that the new Sumo champion Kisenosato weighs!
