I went to the Isegahama stable yesterday morning to watch the wrestlers practice. This stable has some of the top sumo wrestlers. Most of the wrestlers were wearing black belts, but the higher-ranking wrestlers were wearing beige belts. When I think of sumo, I imagine very traditional training. I saw wrestlers attacking and defending in the ring, but I also saw some wrestlers weightlifting. The spectators stood behind a rope about 30 meters away, so we couldn’t see well, but I recognized Atamifuji right away. Then I used the zoom lens on my camera to take a picture of a tall wrestler sitting on the other side of the ring. It was Terunofuji! As I was leaving, I heard some music. It certainly wasn’t traditional. It was Japanese hip-hop! This sport may be old, but the wrestlers are modern young men.  (141 words)
