Sumo!!!

Last night we got to see Sumo. It was day 11 of the Hatsu Basho at Ryōgoku Kokugikan in Tokyo. We got there at 4 PM and stayed to the last fight at 6 PM. The reason we got there so late was that the better wrestlers fight at the end of each day. It was two exciting hours.

The bout is about to begin

Our cheap seats still had a desent view of the dohyō

Deliberation between the judges after doubts about who the winner was.
Their decision was a re-match
