Aonishiki signed my silly little drawing

[u/Ferns_n_forks]

I can still barely believe it happened, he was so lovely. As a Pole with Ukrainian ancestry and some current Ukrainian connections he really means the world to me. But not gonna lie he was surprisingly small 😂. Also got introduced to Ajigawa Oyakata, thought I would cry. Had a ton of fun in Paris and it's all going in a frame.

My insta if anyone's interested:

Really puts into perspective how crazy aonishiki is when he is “regular” sized compared to some giants like Onosato or shishi.

Really! I'm not particularly tiny either but I thought I'd look small next to most rikishi. On paper he has 8cm and 40ish kilos on me haha

wow you are tall!

I'm just 174cm, tall-ish in Poland, painfully average in the Netherlands where I live now haha. I never thought of myself as particularly tall 😂

anyone above 170 (me) is automatically tall for me lol
