      They're corporate sponsors and yes (you're correct), they provide cash in the envelopes that are given to the winner after the bout concludes.

    For context…the stamping ritual, the salt throwing, the “showing of the hands,” drinking the “power water,” all has to do with appeasing the goddess that was invited to reside in the dohyo upon its creation. They are showing their honesty by not bringing a weapon into the ring, wearing next to nothing to show their humility and respect to the gods, and stamping and clapping out the demons, then blessing the ring with salt to purify it. This is a religious ceremony and an art form more than it is a sport. By “sport,” I mean the principles by which they are played professionally that don’t have centuries-old ties to their nation’s history and identity with deep religious ties. Like, imagine if the Super Bowl could only be reffed by Catholic nuns and for every down you played you had to pray the rosary.

      It’s all drama. This is not a sport like Westerners think of a sport. Each rikishi is like an artist out there to perform his “brand” or style of sumo. The stoicism and lack of emotions, win or lose, all points to their highest of principles: Hinkaku. It’s all about dignity and respect. The referees are dressed as Shinto Priests because this was originally a religious ceremony. It’s highly protected and regulated and restricted due to its ties to the national identity of Japan.

    The thing I dig about sumo is the acoustics of the spaces where they battle. Because the ring is small, and crowd is packed the sound of the crowd cheering during a big match is electric. It's like seeing an amazing band in a small club. It just sounds better (to me) than listening to music at a festival or listening to a cheer at a basketball game. The cheer in a sumo arena has it's own electricity. It's different than any other sport.

    I love this natural suspense. It's like a game of well thought chicken- you never know who will make the first move or WHEN they will. My understanding is every time they throw that white powder is a chance they'll start a fight and those first guys did it about 5 times before the one took the first leap and then it was just *over*! It's fascinating!! I would love to know more about this long time respected sport. Also the fact it's so traditional that the ad's are on fine silks carried in a circle around the ring? CACKLING.

    I lived in Japan for 15 years. I lived near Ryogoku, so there were several sumo stables.
    At that time, there were problems with cannabis and match-fixing among sumo wrestlers, and there were young wrestlers who died due to violence.
    I don't know how popular sumo is now, but when I lived there, sumo was a dead national sport.😭

    It seriously takes that long for each match to start, only to be over in seconds? Besides the obvious advertising flags/posters, what's the deal with the massive build up? Is it just part of the ritual?

    • @TokyoStreetView
      @TokyoStreetView  4 ปีที่แล้ว +58

      Yep, takes ages to a match to start :(. And most fights are very short. The massive build up is a mix of teasing the public and your adversary. I made sure to keep one of this obvious tease on the first match when you hear ppl getting crazy before both fighters dismiss

    They used to show Sumo on Channel 4 in the UK some years ago. The conclusion I came to was that the bout was often won and lost before it even started; one achieves psychological dominance over the other in the long build-up. My favourite was Terao ... relatively small but boy, was he aggressive.

      I am Japanese. The burner is the bounty on that one match and an advertisement for that company. One ad costs approximately $700, and if 20 ads go around the ring, the winner will receive approximately $14,000 in prize money. The bundle of envelopes you receive after the match is filled with prize money. By the way, this is a supplementary award separate from the regular contract.

    I wonder, why do they spend a lot of time getting ready? Not in an offensive way, I’m genuinely curious; is it a cultural/traditional thing? What about them throwing what appears to be salt? Is there any meaning to when and how they place their hands on the two white lines in the middle?

    • @drac4597
      @drac4597 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Basically sumo started out as a religious ceremony. Yes they are throwing salt because it’s meant to repel evil spirits. As for their hands on the lines I don’t remember exactly but I believe it’s just like runners getting lined up in the starting line. Best way I could describe sumo is a religious event I guess so imagine a shaman doing a dance to ensure a good harvest.But again I’m really dumbing it down, in truth it has a very rich history
