Sumo is a traditional Japanese form of heavy wrestling characterized by the use of specific techniques aimed at forcing an opponent out of a circular ring or to make any part of their body other than the soles of their feet touch the ground. Sumo wrestlers, known as rikishi, compete in a circular area called a dohyo, which is made of clay and covered with a layer of sand. The sport is rich in cultural rituals and ceremonies, including the dressing of wrestlers in mawashi (belts) and shiko (leg stomps) as part of pre-match rituals. Sumo has strict hierarchies, and wrestlers are classified into various ranks. The sport emphasizes not only physical strength and skill but also mental discipline and traditional values, and it is deeply integrated into Japanese culture, with a history that spans centuries.
