Ryōgoku Sumo Hall (Japan)

Sumo Wrestling (Japan)

All aspects of the daily life of a Japanese Sumo Wrester, from meals to their manner of dress, are dictated by strict Shinto tradition. Even the victory celebration remains steeped in ritual. It should be noted that top sumo wrestlers are like rockstars in Japanese society. Brian must have been aware of the sumo's celebrity status.
