Sumo Wrestlers Are Coming Town! ― 2009/11/13
In November, you will see sumo wrestlers in the city, as a professional sumo tournament takes place here in Fukuoka.
They stay here for nearly a month in accommodations provided by their local supporters, not in hotels. So if you are lucky, you may come across sumo wrestlers at shopping, having a tea or snack, or cycling around.
Of course it would be great to watch an actual sumo match at the ringside (ticket costs ¥14,300, around US$158 as of 2009/11/13), but isn’t it also fantastic to have a peek at their everyday life?
You could even smell their hair oil, feel how big they are and an allure that only young athletes living in a world of competition possess.
I’m sorry I haven’t been lucky enough to come across or photograph them. Once I saw them, I promise I will upload some photographs.
