A First Trip to the Sumo in NagoyaPeter Lyons
Despite being in Japan for over 22years, there are a few things I still haven’t
done that I’d like to do. I’ve never been toKyushu, I’ve never climbed Mt. Fuji, anduntil July of this year, I’d never been to aSumo tournament. I’d never been
particularly interested in the national
sport of Japan until watching a Japanese
drama on Netflix called “Sanctuary” inwhich a tough, desperate kid becomes asumo wrestler, captivating fans with hiscocky attitude, and upsetting an industry
steeped in tradition. The drama hadpiqued my interest, so I decided to checkout the next tournament in Nagoya.
Due to the popularity of the drama,
it seems that I wasn’t the only new fan at
Dolphin’s Arena, as the venue was soldout despite it being a weekday. After
battling through the intense heat from thesubway station spotting younger rikishi
sweating even more than me, when I
arrived around 2.30pm, the venue wassurprisingly less than half-full. I wasassured by an older gentleman who hadobviously been to the Sumo on a numberof occasions judging by his knowledge
that the venue would start to fill up as theMakuuchi top division matches started.
After I squeezed my 190cm-sizedframe into a plastic seat designed for asmall child, and figured out which side
was higashi and which was nishi, I wasable to enjoy the matches and sample
the ever-increasing excitement in the air.
I was surprised by how quickly thematches occurred as I’d expected long

Photo: The view from my seat in the Dolphin Arena(Photo taken by Peter Lyons)waits due to the traditional ceremonies
attached to the sport. By the time local
favourite Midorifuji had won his match bypushing his opponent out of the ring(oshidashi), the place was full, and thecrowd was in fine voice. I looked
enviously at those seated ringside before
remembering that sitting on a zabutonhas a time limit of around 30 minutes forme.
Have you ever been to the Sumo?
Are you interested in any other traditional
Japanese sports such as Kendo? Have
you seen any good dramas recently thathave inspired you? Why not talk about
these topics at the Language Café!
