Sumo !!



In this post, I am going to show you about Japan's national sport. Sumo is a Japanese style of wrestling and Japan's national sport. It is original in the past time as a performance to entertain the Shinto gods. The basic rules of sumo are simple: the wrestler who first touches the ground with anything besides of his feet, or who leaves the ring before his opponent has to loses. Fights take place on a ring, called a "dohyo", which is made of clay and covered in a layer of sand. The fights usually only a few seconds, or in rare cases, about a minute.
