Sumo wrestling | Shikiri (仕切り)
Sumo wrestling - Sumo
The sumo wrestling series that makes you smile with adorable paintings is an original ceramic Japan figurine product. Hand-painted by a craftsman, and it is attractive that each one has a different expression. There are a total of four poses, including the sumo wrestler's "four legs" and "separation" plus the humorous "napping" and "yawning". The crossed seat is a large size.
Sumo originated as an agricultural ritual dance to pray for a good harvest.
Shikiri (仕切り)
'Toeing the mark'. The preparation period before a bout, during which the wrestlers stare each other down, crouch repeatedly, perform the ritual salt-throwing, and other tactics to try to gain a psychological advantage.
