Sumo Saturday everyone! Massive new experience and everything was just amazing. Trying new things and going to new places every weekend is starting to get overwhelming and I can't keep up with my emotions haha.
I regret not reading up everything I needed to know about Sumo before the match. It wasn't so much being lost on how the wrestling matches go but it was just the whole culture behind it all, what was the meaning of them throwing salt before every wrestle or why did they have to pump each other up so many times before actually touching each other.
I was really into it. I was always going for the underdog. Today was the 7th round and there was about 12 or even more (I really can't be bothered getting out of my bed and getting the sheet to see how many matches there were today) matches today in the higher league so whoever had less wins I'd root for them haha. The last match was very hyped up because the number one sumo in the league who had 6 wins and 0 losses was versing a guy who had 0 wins and 6 losses. Poor dude man I was really rooting for the underdog but I knew he had no chance, and he was BIGGER than the best sumo!
But of course I realised the bigger wasn't necessary the better. So much skill involved. That's why as souvenir I bought a guide on sumo techniques so I can be the number one master haha. Nah seriously the ticket was $50 but it was such a fun experience. Anyone who comes to Japan will need to put this on their bucketlist!
The one thing I loved was outside the stadium seeing big fat sumo's in their floral feminine yukatas just walking so casually was just a beautiful scene. Especially when three big guys was trying to hail a taxi. I laughed inside so hard. Anyway here is a video if you want to have a glimpse on what it's like. I'm going to read the history of sumo now cause I am so damn interested in everything! Also trivia, the best guy in the league atm is actually from Mongolia and not even Japanese!
