The last three Araiso stable wrestlers attend an annual party held by their stable (c. 2007).
Araiso stable (荒磯部屋, Araiso-beya) was a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Nishonoseki group of stables. It was founded in 1993 by former komusubi Futagodake of the Futagoyama stable. The stable was dissolved after the September 2008 tournament, as Futagodake was due to reach the mandatory retirement age of 65.
History[]
Araiso stable was established in 1993 by former komusubi Futagodake, who branched off from Futagoyama stable. It was one of the smallest of all the sumo stables, with just three sumo wrestlers. The stable never produced any sekitori. The stable was dissolved after the September 2008 tournament, as Futagodake was due to reach the mandatory retirement age of 65. Two of the stable's wrestlers retired following the announcement, with the one remaining active wrestler, Mongolian Arawashi, moving to Hanakago stable. Futagodake worked at Matsugane stable until his retirement in November 2008.
Arawashi would go on to transfer to Hanakago stable where he would become a sekitori wrestler. Arawashi continued wrestling until January 2020, the last surviving member of the stable to retire.
