Fujishima stable (2010)
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Fujishima stable (藤島部屋 Fujishima-beya?), formerly known as Musashigawa stable, is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Dewanoumi ichimon or group of stables. It was set up in August 1981 by former yokozuna Mienoumi, who branched off from Dewanoumi stable.[1] By the early 2000s it had become the strongest stable in sumo, with a yokozuna, three ōzeki and several other top division wrestlers.[2] As of January 2016 it had thirteen wrestlers.[3]
In September 2010 the former Mienoumi stood down as head coach and passed the stable to former ōzeki Musōyama, who changed its name to Fujishima.[4] Former yokozuna Musashimaru branched off from the stable in April 2013 after taking on the elder name of his former head coach, creating a new generation of Musashigawa stable.

Ring name conventions
Some wrestlers at this stable take ring names or shikona that include the character 武 (read: bu or mu), which is taken from the first character of the former name of the stable, Musashigawa, and is also the first character in the name of the stable's current owner, former Musōyama.
