Sumo & Castle

Get ready for 4 posts in 24 hours. So come back often.

Last week I went to Sumo. It was quite an experience. Every month Sumo is in a different city. Each day, Sumo goes from 8:30am until about 6:30pm.

To the best of my knowledge, each wrestler fights once per day. The matches typically last from 2-15 seconds.

There are many pre-match rituals that take place and these actually take longer than the match.

Below you can see a 9am match.
And now for the freeze frame of a match later in the afternoon.
The other part of the day involved a castle. See below.
See more pictures here.

Stay tuned and come back during your Friday work day... there will be three more posts at random times.
