Sumo Day

It was a warm day and the heat of the sun made us tired. It wiped us out. We got to Seika at about 9:30AM and was looking forward to see real wrestlers. We saw big guys and we figured those are the wrestlers that they invited for the sumo day. They have some children wearing belt and they are so cute. Sumo is a national sports here in Japan. For me, it seemed kind of odd because they teach the kids to get angered. I was looking with the painting they made. Or else it is just an expressions if you wanted your opponent to get down. But still kind of odd.... Brian joined the father's wrestling arms and I was hoping that Brian will challenge the sumo wrestlers but he did not. He won for the first match and got a price which is a towel. For the second match! boy! he did not won. I was a bit upset because I did not took any photos...boy! I missed it. All in all... we were having fun...we enjoyed eating chanko-nabe- This is the food where the wrestlers were eating. It is high in protein.
