Re: Interesting technique

Although Doshu would ideally want to close distance and get into the back of uke's shoulder for many techniques (and he may indeed be on his way there in the picture, it's hard to tell), the space left between them suggests that a big, fat sweeping kotegaeshi ura is coming. That is, the flamboyant, visually impressive version common to many demonstrations, rather than the closer, guarded, more practical version.
