Description:
Sumo wrestling, Japan's national sport with a history spanning over 1500 years, combines impressive ceremony with intense competition. The massive wrestlers move with deliberate grace through elaborate rituals and traditional attire before engaging in a battle to the finish. Despite the formal setting, the crowds erupt as the wrestlers, clad only in loincloths, clash. The fight consists of subtle yet powerful movements, and victory is achieved when one wrestler is forced out of the ring or touches the ground with anything but their feet. Matches are typically very short, lasting less than a minute. Sumo is a fundamental part of Japanese youth culture, similar to hockey and baseball in North America.
