12 down ブンリ
6 across カブト
7 across クン
5 down カミカクシ
37 across クツ
A-H 冠婚葬祭「カンコンソウサイ」
which makes 33 across フサ
Are we sure フウトウ is correct? I think 16 down is クシ (since it has the role of “gathering” the dumplings), which means 17 across is probably シメン. Maybe カクウ is a possible solution for 36 down?
I’m not - I confess I’ve been having second thoughts on that from the beginning. I can see the logic going there, but I’m not sure it quite matches the clue.
That one I don’t quite get. After a bit of Googling, I found that blue, red, white and black flags mark the cardinal directions in a sumo arena, but I couldn’t get any further than that.
Could 27 down be イロ?
Maybe マク. 銀幕 is a word in the dictionary…
クロウト for 28 across, maybe?
That makes more sense, since the screen is white rather than silver.
Maybe キママ for 21 across
Aye, I was pondering キママ
For 38-down, リサイタル?
ネン could fit 24 down (from the expression 念を入れる). Not sure about 24 across yet though.
Pondering しかけ for 31-across, but I can’t think of anything that’d fit in 39-down.
If 24-down is ネン, 24-across could be ネガエリ
1 down ヒトリゴト?
Ah. 1-across is ヒキャク. That makes 1-down ヒトリゴト, and 9-down キゲン
Oh, sorry, I thought someone had done 9 down, but I guess that was only through フウトウ. Well done
Just need the bottom-right corner. Maybe カジ is wrong…
What’s the kanji after 江戸 on 35 across?
華 = 花
江戸の華 is a euphemism for the fires that would occur after major earthquakes, hence カジ
