We saw the matches from a box seat!!
Here is a stomping sumo wrestler, getting ready before his match.
You can see sumo wrestlers in very close distance.
This is the opening ritual by wrestlers in the top divistion.
You can find in the middle a very tall man. He is Koto-oshu, very talented wrestler from Bulgaria. He is Ozeki, which is the second to Yokozuna, the grand champion.
We have so many non-Japanese wrestlers now. I want Japanese ones get much stronger
and climb up to be Yokozuna. There is no Japanese Yokozuna.
Guess who they are? Maiko-chan! They were sitting very close to us, accompanying their patrons who came to see the sumo tournament. I thought they would only accompany the patrons in their tea houses(meaning geisha house), so it was a bit surprising to me.
Can you believe they are teenagers? (Maybe the left one, yes.)They look so matured to me.
My clients were so excited about both watching sumo matches and capturing maiko:) That surely made their day.
