Woman Enters Sumo Ring for First Time Ever
A woman entered a sumo ring in Japan for first time ever.
So sacred is the ring that a female governor in Osaka and to relegate prize-giving duties to a subordinate because she wasn’t allowed in the ring to do so.
But…in the spirit of “help, bad spirits” a middle-aged woman jumped into the ring, partially anyway.
A wrestler, Takamisakari, and a referee kept her from getting all the way in.
Religion, fanaticism, spiritual motivations will cause people to try the most zany things….no?
Perhaps had the middle-aged woman been a few years younger and been willing to wear just the obi/sumo belt she would have received a better reception.
