Excellent performance by SUMO wrestlers at Yasukuni Shrine. Sumo wrestlers should be given an opportunity to participate in Tokyo Olympic games in 2020

Looks like a traditional ceremony. I know it's kind of a sacred ritual. That said, it's very interesting, and even comical in a way. Nice picture!
