Sumo
Sumo is an exciting style of wrestling unique to Japan, and often called the country's national sport. These heavyweight bouts were mentioned in ancient Japanese writings as early as the 700s, while the modern form that became standard in the Edo era (1603-1867) remains unchanged today. Today, sumo continues to draw crowds both young and old as one of Japan's most popular sports - right next to baseball.
