From apostles to angry men, groups of 12 have long held particular significance. And now sumo has its own eclectic group of 12 active rikishi who have lifted the Emperor’s Cup on the final day of a tournament. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/04/02/sumo/gunning-inside-sumo-0402/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #emperor039scup #onosato #mitakeumi
Ok, da kann ich nicht mithalten 
Die traditionelle Herstellung kann man in #Japan noch auf Märkten und Volksfesten sehen. Dafür wird der #Klebreis #Mochi-Gome zunächst gedämpft und dann unter enormem Kraftaufwand in Holzbottich-Mörsern durch rhythmisches Schlagen mit wuchtigen Holzstößeln zu einem geschmeidigen Teig verarbeitet.
Traditionelle Herstellung: Schwerstarbeit für Könner
Diese Prozedur dauert mehrere Stunden. Dabei hämmern zwei Helfer in schneller Folge auf den Teigklumpen, während ein Dritter diesen wendet und mit Wasser bestreicht. Oft handelt es sich dabei um #Sumo-Ringer, denn es ist viel #Kraft erforderlich. Damit sich niemand verletzt, sind eine perfekte Abstimmung und eine "ausgefeilte Technik" notwendig. Die staunende Menge applaudiert und darf hinterher den unglaublich zarten, weichen Teig genießen

Sumo is often referred to as Japan’s national sport but it’s baseball that is the country’s one true obsession. This week, those two sports are intersecting in Tokyo. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/03/19/sumo/sumo-baseball-connections/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #tokyoseries #losangelesdodgers #claytonkershaw
I was hesitant to say it, but the more I watch this spring's basho, the more I think Hoshoryu's advancement was premature.
