KONISHIKI CULTURE SHIFTING - Lance E. Lee Podcast Episode #137

Celebrating a milestone of 40 years in Japan, Sale Atisanoe, aka Konishiki, left his home at age 18 and traveled to the other side of the planet into the highly regimented sumo world. Sale proudly remarks that he is from four cultures and worlds: Samoan, American, Japanese, and Sumo. His feat as a foreign "rikishi" who flew up the ranks, breaking records and making a legacy, is astounding and attributed to the strict teachings of his beloved dad. By watching a true "leader" protect the family with compassion, spiritual guidance, and devotion, Konishiki drew the strength and will to succeed as a champion in the "dohyo" and life. The answer to his parents' prayers, Sale continues to thrive and imparts his wisdom: "accept the moments we have (in life) and learn to work with them."
