-sigh-

For the record:

There is not that much yelling in sumo.

I mean, the fans yell, but not the wrestlers.

Baby Sumo!

Seems somewhat cruel.

Not much more cruel than having your kid sit for pics with Santa… and the kids are crying [though yes, it’s expected here that the sumo wrestlers scare the babies… because these guys are huge]

Anyway, something less cruel: SUMO SCHOOL!

The calf of my fave wrestler:

There are Sumo & Sushi events going around the U.S. …

intended for people who have never really watched sumo. But the post is from a big sumo fan.

It involves real (retired) pro sumo wrestlers, and some others.
