Sumo originated from the religious ceremony of Shinto in Japan and originated in China.
In Nara and Heian periods, sumo was a kind of court spectator sport, but in Kamakura and Warring States Period, sumo became a part of samurai training, and in the 18th century, professional sumo started, which was very similar to sumo competition.
Shinto rituals emphasize sumo wrestling, and the purpose of the stomping ceremony before the competition is to drive away the evil spirits in the venue and relax the muscles.
salt should be sprinkled on the site to achieve the purpose of purification. Once sumo wrestlers has reached Yokozuna, he can almost be said to be at the apex of the Japanese sumo world, and will have the supreme glory for life.
V. Kimono
Kimono is the name of traditional Japanese national costume, and it is also called "clinging" in Japan. Kimono is modeled after China's Sui and Tang dynasties clothing styles and Wu clothing, so it is called "Wu clothing" and "Tang Japanese kimono clothing" in Japan. Kimono is the name of Wu clothing by westerners, and the Japanese have accepted this name, but many shops selling kimonos still write "Wu clothing".
from the 8th century to the 9th century, tang style was once popular in Japan. Although it has changed to form a unique Japanese style in the future, it still contains many characteristics of China Hanfu. The difference between the styles and colors of women's kimonos is a sign to distinguish age and marriage.
