Sumo is a Japanese style of wrestling and is an ancient sport dating back some 1500 years.
Did you know the very origin of the Japanese race depended on the outcome of a sumo match?
According to Japanese legend, the supremacy of 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.
Its origins were religious.
The first sumo matches were a form of ritual dedicated to the gods with players for a rich harvest and were performed together with sacred dancing within the precincts of the shrines.
