Izumo Province
Finally, in spring 1811, Raiden retired from sumo at the age of 43. He became chairman of the sumo association of Izumo Province (in today's Shimane Prefecture), where his sponsor "daimyō" resided. In 1816, he moved to Edo and finished his diary "Shokoku Sumo Hikae-cho" ("journal of sumo in various regions"), which describes his time as an active wrestler since 1789.
