いにしえから相撲は 人たちのご楽になりました
||sumo has become people's entertainment since ancient times||
私は日本相撲協会（Japan Sumo Association）の「大相撲」を見るのが好きです
||I like to watch the Japan Sumo Association's Grand Sumo tournaments||
一年に６回、５００人以上の力士が１５日間あつまります
||six times a year, more than 500 rikishi gather for 15 days||
それは「ばしょ」といいます
||that's called a basho||
ばしょの時、いろいろな日本の伝統的なことが見えます
||during a basho, you can see various traditional japanese things||

髪の毛やぎょうじやよびだしや着物や土俵や吊り屋根など　みんな興味深いと思います
|| things like their hair, the referee and yobidashi, the kimono, the dohyou, the floating roof, i think all of it is very interesting||
そのうえ、強くてかっこいい相撲取りが 四股名で呼ばれてから　いろいろな動作をしますけれども　勝負は時々２秒でおわりですよ
たまりません
||on top of that, after strong & cool sumotori get called by their wrestler names, they do various gestures BUT the bout is sometimes over in 2 seconds. I can't get enough||

it takes like half an hour to watch just the top division (幕内 makuuchi） highlights, these are the Official ones:

day 1, day 2, day 3, day 4, day 5

"Top 5s" with info from some guy cause I don't see the NHK world highlights : day 6, day 7, day 8

Sumo is so fascinating to me! I want to track down some of those tournament videos and watch them now

Next tournament starts Sunday

polar bear vs lion (juryo day 3)

alright May 2024 tournament's over, last day on NHK world:

6:54 tamawashi v ichiyamamoto was nuts
12:56 good
17:14 another 7-7 on the last day
18:29 koreyori sanyaku stomp and start of zooming in on oonosato and his dad praying/crying

Late for Kyushu but made some fanart! Excited for sumo next year :3
