day 72 - Sumo!
Last Sunday we went to Osaka for the Opening Day of the Sumo Spring Tournament. Coming out of the exit from the train station we crossed paths with a rikishi who was heading for the stadium. He not only posed for us, but also showed us the way! Unfortunately we didn't get his name. Can anyone help?!
It was a really entertaining day and for us the processions, traditional costumes of the gyoji (referees), the ancient rituals of dohyo-iri (entering the ring), yumitori-shiki (the final bow-twirling ceremony) and the posing and salt-throwing were just as impressive as the bouts themselves.
