Oh! Sumo-san!!

Look who I'm with in the picture!
I came across two sumo-wrestlers in Osaka! In Japanese they are called お相撲さん(osumou-san)
Who are they?? What ranking are they in?
I'm sorry,, I don't know :p

Waving flags with the names of the supporters ...these are displayed around the big dome in Nanba, Osaka, where I came to work today.
Sumo tournament is held here in this time of the year. I didn't know about that..

Actually never have I thought that sumo tournament, our traditional sport has been held in middle of the downtown area like this.

This is the entrance gate! not so crowded... because matches were already started by then.
It was around 4 p.m. when I passed by here.. the highly ranked osumou-sans will show up for match later than this. So I guess the ones I took pictures with could be the lower-ranked. But I'm happy anyway!!
