Sumo as art
Photoseries by Tomoki Momozono (Tomoki Momozono). Sumo - not only fight, but also a religious ritual. Hall Sumo necessarily equipped with sand clay dais, limited braids from rice straw. Before the start of the match on the sand throw a handful of salt to make the ritual purification. The canopy over the platform is made in the form of the roof in the Japanese shrine as a Shinto priest judges struggle.
