Nakamura stable
Nakamura stable (
The former Fujizakura reached the mandatory retirement age of 65 early in 2013 and as there was no successor available, the stable closed in December 2012 with five of its remaining wrestlers, including former jūryō Hishofuji, transferring to Azumazeki stable, and the other two retiring.[2]
The stable's premises were subsequently used by the Musashigawa stable.[3]
