Hanakago stable (花籠部屋, Hanakago beya), formerly known as Shibatayama stable from September 1952 to May 1953, was a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Nishonoseki ichimon or group of stables. Founded by former maegashira Ōnoumi Hisamitsu. It closed in 1985 with all wrestlers and personnel moving to Hanaregoma stable.

History

A previous incarnation of the stable existed from 1929 to 1947, run by former sekiwake Misugiiso. This version had produced a couple of sekitori, the highest ranking of which being Tominoyama. Upon Ōnoumi's retirement in May 1952 he branched off from Nishonoseki stable and created his own Shibatayama stable taking with him along with others the future yokozuna Wakanohana Kanji I. In May 1953 he received the Hanakago elder stock and changed the name of the stable to match. he had quick success coaching Wakanohana to ōzeki in 1956 and then yokozuna in 1958. 1958 was a good year for the stable as it saw the promotion of the first two homegrown sekitori (those who had started their career at Hanakago). In 1962 after the retirement of Wakanohana the stable would see it first branch off, with Wakanohana setting up Futagoyama stable. The stable's success would continue throughout the 1960s and 1970s, with Wajima making ōzeki in November 1972 and yokozuna by July 1973. In 1975 Ōnoumi oversaw the promotion of Kaiketsu to ōzeki making it one of the most dominating stables of the 1970s.

In January 1981 the stable would see another one of its wrestlers, Kaiketsu, branch off creating

in the Sumo Association as collateral on a loan, a practice strictly forbidden. The stable folded completely in 1985 with all its wrestlers transferring to the affiliated Hanaregoma stable.
