Sumo Wrestling in Osaka, Japan (2x21)

Air date: Apr 04, 2010

Some gaijin friends (from Kansai Gaidai) and I went to see a professional Sumo tournament in Osaka. It was very exciting! Hopefully I explain enough about the rules and traditions of the sport for you guys to get the picture. There's a lot of Shinto aspects to Sumo, such as purifying the ring with salt, chants, etc. Overall, an incredibly culturally rich sport.
