An audience watches Sumo wrestlers, or rikishi, begin a match recently at Tokyo’s Ryogoku Kokugikan Sumo Hall. Before a match, sumo wrestlers execute traditional movements, which are actually ancient rituals. For example, upon entering the ring, each rikishi will clap their hands as they would at an actual Shinto shrine to get the attention of the deity at that shrine. Photo by Maj. Giuseppe A. Stavale
