    The image shows the interior of a sumo wrestling arena (likely Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan) when empty. A traditional Shinto-style suspended roof (yakata) hangs over the central dohyo (clay ring), which is covered with a white protective tarp. The arena features rows of red box seats and stadium seating arranged in a circular layout around the central ring.

    Above the dohyo, or sumo ring, is a roof designed as a Shinto shrine’s roof to symbolize the sacred nature of the sport. This is just one example of the influence that Shinto has on sumo. Photo by Maj. Giuseppe A. Stavale
