According to Japanese legend the very origin of the Japanese race depended on the outcome of a sumo mathc. the supremacy of the Japanese people on the islands of Japan was supposedly established when the god, Takemikazuchi, won a sumo bout with the leader of a rival tribe. Apart from legend, however, sumo is an ancient sport dating back some 1500 years ago.

This March Sumo has come to Osaka! We weren't sitting that close, but that didn't stop us from feeling apart of the action!

This just goes to show that in Sumo, size doesn't really matter.
and don't forget about the snacks! During a sumo match, you can enjoy a nice hot cup of ramen.
Yum!
