What is the meaning of 現箱さき親方?

[code]

    本名ジョー•力石、現箱さき親方

現 is reality/consciousness or present/current, 箱 is box/shamisen, 親方 is
master/craftsman. And さき is 先? So 現箱さき親方 is "top shamisen craftsman of the
present day"?




I think 箱さき is his name as a sumo stable master. 現 means 現在の, which means
"present". Probably this 親方 means "a sumo stable master". So it means "The
present Hakosaki sumo stable master".

You may wonder why the word "present" is necessary. It is because sumo stable
masters take on the names of their masters. Thus there must be a way to
distinguish between the present and past masters.
