Finally, those sumo photos

Sorry for the lengthy delay, I went out lots and couldn`t face dragging myself all the way down here to argue with the Japanese computer about how to put up these photos. Guilt won. These are from July 19th.

Before a session, the fighters all parade around the ring (not the right word, I know, I`ll come back with the right word) wearing pretty aprons. It`s all very macho.


And then they square up and stomp and slap their thighs for a few mintutes to psyche each other out.


Eventually they get down the wrestling.



This guy came out top overall, so at the end of the day he does a special ceremony.
