These where some fun pictures, that little guy is having a blast! But I wouldn´t want to mess around with those big guys.

I’d love to go see sumo wrestlers live and in person. I think that’d make for an interesting night.

  Yes and no.
  
  When you’re in the front row and one gets pushed out of the ring, you’ll wish you’d gotten the cheap seats. 😉 Oh, and pelts of body hair and folds of fat, well, if that’s your thing. 😉 Clothed and out, they’re a lot of fun, at least the ones I’ve met.

Smorgasbord - Variety is the Spice of Life.

Reblogged this on Smorgasbord – Variety is the spice of life and commented:
I was going to share one of the super recipes on Made by you and I but this post caught my eye – I realise now that perhaps I was honoured enough to be a Sumo warrior in a past life because there is a remarkable resemblance when I put my new black bathing costume on this week!! Extra lengths in the pool today. Love the last photograph. Pop in and enjoy the food and the other posts.

  Thanks.
  
  There are some fun traditions with children and sumo here. One is what I photographed here. Another is where the sumo players hold infants and the ring master, who used to be/is, the priest puts on a demon mask to see which child cries first.
