The Art of Sumo Wrestling

[AstroNerd23]

Sumo wrestling, Japan’s ancient sport, is steeped in tradition and ritual. Wrestlers, known as rikishi, follow a strict lifestyle, training rigorously and adhering to ceremonial customs. Matches are brief but intense, with each bout lasting only seconds as opponents try to force each other out of the ring or onto the ground. Sumo remains a beloved cultural institution in Japan, symbolizing strength, discipline, and honor.

I think sumo wrestling is such a fascinating tradition, though the discipline and rituals behind it are what really make it an art form.
