Audience interaction in Amstelveen (2009)

A photograph taken on 7 June 2009 and published by Otomodachi identifies Kotokensei arm wrestling with a female host. Its connection to Japan Festival 2009 at Stadsplein in Amstelveen is inferred from the photo date and contemporary local reporting. That report describes the sumo delegation’s stage appearance and photo opportunities, with no sumo bouts; it does not name Kotokensei individually.
