Su mo

Sumo is a Japanese style of wrestling and Japan's national sport. It originated from Shinto gods, and many rituals with religious background are still followed today.

The basic rules of sumo are simple: the wrestler who first touches the ground with anything besides the soles of his feet or who leaves the ring before his opponent loses. Fights take place on an elevated ring called a "dohyo", which is made of clay and covered in a layer of sand. The fights themselves usually last only a few seconds, or in rare cases, about a minute.

Kyoto Gion Festival

Dating back to the ninth century, the Gion Matsuri has its roots in a purification ritual intended to clear plague from the city and now spans the month of July, with most of the events falling in the middle of the month. The festivities reach its peak with the Yamahoko-Junko Parade on July 17th.

During the festival, Kyoto's streets are filled with traditional gion-bayashi music and decorated floats. These floats light up on the evening of the 16th, turn the city into a magical scene. Kyotoites wander the streets in festive summer kimono, and the air is scented with special festival foods.
