Tournament in sumo wrestling (5)

I believe the answer is:

basho

(Other definitions for basho that I've seen before include "sporting event out East" , "sumo event" , "17th century Japanese poet" , "Seventeenth century Japanese poet (The Narrow Road to the Deep North)" , "Sumo wrestling tournament" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
