Sumo is said to have originated before ancient times (traditionally, the age of myth ), and reached its peak as a form of entertainment for the common people during the Edo period . [1]
Folklore research on modern sumo has looked at its leaders and historical lineage, from sumo sumo held by people who make a living doing sumo to sumo sumo , amateur sumo such as student sumo and business group sumo , to local rituals and entertainment. It is divided into three types: sumo ( grass sumo, wild sumo, and dedication sumo, which were classified as ``amateur sumo'' by Ichiro Nitta, Masao Ikeda , and others) . [2] Sumo, a sporting event sponsored by the Japan Sumo Association, is particularly famous, but because it originates from a Shinto ritual, etiquette is more important than other professional sports, and the lifestyle and appearance are similar to traditional customs. There is also a cultural aspect, such as the fact that it is maintained.
It is sometimes said in the street that ``Japan's national sport is sumo,'' but Japan has not established a national sport by law or government ordinance .
Similar forms of martial arts in Japan and abroad include Okinawa sumo (shima) from the main island of Okinawa , buh from Mongolia , shuai jiao from China , sireum from the Korean peninsula , Yargureshi from Turkey , and rambu from Senegal . Each type of sumo has its own unique name, but when it is introduced in Japan, it is often referred to as so-and-so sumo (Okinawa sumo (Ryukaku Riki), Mongolian sumo, Turkish sumo, etc.).
