The Official 2025 Japan Sumo Association Calendar is similar in size and number of pages as the 2024 Sumo calendar. The calendar is 15.5" wide by 12" h when not open. When open it is 15.5" w x 24" h. It has 14 pages with one page per month featuring photos of the top 2 division wrestlers (Makuuchi and Juryo) mostly from the September 2024 tournament. We say "mostly" because they include Onosato with his Ozeki promotion in the higher ranked photos while completely removing the retired wrestlers Takakeisho, Myogiryu, and Aoiyama.
The calendar cover displays the year 2025 along with photos of the original Ryogoku Kokugikan (top photo) while the bottom photo is the current Kokugikan.
The first page has a photo of a dohyo and a listing of all Heya names along with their Oyakata's name in Japanese.
January has photos of Yokozuna Terunofuji and Ozeki Hoshoryu, Kotozakura, and Onosato in formal robes.

Poster Set
We are also offering a set of large, one page posters that may only be purchased with a regular calendar. One poster is a 2025 Calendar and the other is a November 2024 Tournament Promotional Poster. Both posters in the set come folded with unfolded dimensions of 20.5" wide by 28.5" high. The Calendar Poster has a listing of all 73 Yokozuna at the top and all 12 months below with the sumo tournament dates highlighted. You can also find ticket release dates, banzuke release dates, and tournament dates in the chart at the bottom. The November Tournament Poster shows the November locaton and starting and ending dates. Only a few of these are available and are only available for those purchasing the Official 2025 Sumo Calendar.
The Tournament Poster image is of the actual poster to be provided. The Calendar Poster image is from 2024 which is very similar to the 2025 Calendar Poster but we don't have a 2025 image yet. We will post the 2025 Calendar Poster image as soon as we get it.
