  • BA Ritgerð the Change of Tides
    BA ritgerð Japanskt Mál og menning The Change of tides: The advent of non-nationals in Sumo Henry Fannar Clemmensen Leiðbeinandi Gunnella Þorgeirsdóttir September 2019 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Japanskt mál og menning The Change of Tides: The advent of non-nationals in Sumo Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Henry Fannar Clemmensen Kt.: 260294-3429 Leiðbeinandi: Gunnella Þorgeirsdóttir September 2019 1 Abstract Non-Japanese sumo wrestlers are common today, but that has not always been the case. For over a thousand years sumo tournaments were exclusively held by Japanese men, and up until the 1960s foreigners were almost unheard of in the professional sumo scene. As the world’s modernization and internationalization accelerated so did foreign interest in the National sport of sumo. Today the sport has spread to over 87 countries which have joined the International Sumo Federation. With an interest in professional sumo in Japan at an all-time low and with fewer wrestlers applying to stables than ever before, viewers of tournaments and media coverage of events has been decreasing, which is closely followed by western originated sports having overtaken sumo in popularity e.g. soccer and baseball. Yet the interest in sumo on an international scale has increased considerably. In which way has this rising internationalization affected the sumo world and the professional sumo world and how is it reflected in modern Japanese society, in what way did the wrestlers coming from overseas experience the sumo culture compared to how it is today? Today the sumo scene is largely dominated by Mongolian wrestlers, how did this come to pass and how has the society of Japan reacted to these changes.

    CULTURE Today’s Sumo Wrestlers Lack Spirit — Possibility of the advent of Japanese yokozuna Interview with Hakkaku Nobuyoshi, Chairman of Nihon Sumo Kyokai and former sumo wrestler Hokutoumi by Nagayama Satoshi, ex-journalist for Yomiuri Ozumo Whether you are Japanese or Mongolian does not matter in sumo Nagayama Satoshi: You were reappointed as the chairman of Nihon Sumo Kyokai in March. Around six months have passed since your initial appointment on December 18 last year. How do you feel now? Hakkaku Nobuyoshi : I have settled into the position. The outside directors helped me a lot, and I have undertaken my job by trial and error. As a result, I’m gradually becoming more confident. I have had a hectic time since Kitanoumi, the previous chairman, passed away. I have refrained from drinking for a year. Very recently, I have played the occasional round of golf. The Grand Sumo Tournament is very popular, with every date fully booked. Sumo fans still want a Japanese yokozuna. Personally, I believe that someone is a sumo wrestler as soon as he starts his career, whether he is Japanese or Mongolian. In reality, many sumo fans often tell me that they want a Japanese yokozuna. What do you want young Japanese sumo wrestlers to do to become a yokozuma? Hakkaku Nobuyoshi, Chairman of Nihon Sumo Kyokai and former sumo wrestler Hokutoumi I think that many of them have already given up any © CHUO KORON SHINSHA 2016 hope of beating Hakuho or being as strong as him.

  • BASHO FURY SUMO GAME RULES ©2016 Sideline Strategy Games
    BASHO FURY SUMO GAME RULES ©2016 Sideline Strategy Games INTRODUCTION The sport of Sumo has long been a fascination of mine. I can’t explain what draws me to the sport, but the intensity and ferocity of a Sumo match is unparalleled in any other sport. I was compelled to bring Sumo onto my tabletop in a game that plays as quickly as the actual matches and produces accurate results. The culmination of these efforts is the game you currently hold in your hands. Throughout the remainder of this instruction book, you will encounter several Sumo specific names and terms. Rather than provide a glossary of terms at the end, a “translation” will follow these words in ( ). A Sumo Primer is included. This serves as an introduction to this fascinating and lightning fast paced sport. If you are not familiar with the sport of Sumo, it may be beneficial to review the primer first and then have it handy as you read through the rules.

  • Is Body Mass Human Capital in Sumo? Outcome of Globalization and Formation of Human Capital in Japan

Outcome of globalization and formation of human capital in Japan Eiji Yamamura *Corresponding author. Department of Economics, Seinan Gakuin University, 6-2-92 Nishijin, Sawara-ku, Fukuoka 814-8511, Japan. E-mail address: [email protected] Tel: +81 92 823 4543; Fax: +81 92 823 2506 1 ABSTRACT Sumo wrestling is a traditional fighting sport in Japan and has been popular since the 18th century (the Edo period). Using a data set for all sumo wrestlers in the post-World War II period, this paper investigates how wrestlers’ body mass index (BMI) is associated with their win rate and absence rate. Further, the effect of BMI is compared between an early period (before the emergence of foreign wrestlers) and later period (after the emergence of foreign wrestlers). After accounting for endogenous bias using instrumental variables, the key findings are that (1) there is no positive relationship between the BMI and win rate in either the early or later period and (2) there is a positive relationship between the BMI and absence rate in the later period but not in the early period. From the findings in this paper, I make the argument that an increase in the number of immigrants with human capital different from that of domestic labor leads the domestic labor to obtain human capital that does not match its characteristics, thereby reducing the performance of domestic labor.

  • Dwindling Popularity Or a New Chapter?
    Hugvísindasvið Sumo Dwindling popularity or a new chapter? Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Sigurrós María Sigurbjörnsdóttir Maí 2010 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Japanskt mál og menning Sumo Dwindling popularity or a new chapter? Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Sigurrós María Sigurbjörnsdóttir Kt.: 260485-8149 Leiðbeinendur: Kaoru Umezawa og Yoshihiko Iura Maí 2010 Abstract The sport of sumo has been around in Japan in some forms since the beginning of time. It has evolved into an elegant professional sport enjoyed for hundreds of years by both emperors and commoners. When it comes to sumo there are vast differences of opinion about the sport. Some say it is much more than a sport, even go as far as calling it a lifestyle. Sumo has been described as one of the great spectator sports in the world. For a great part of 20th century sumo was the most popular spectator sport in Japan and it was not until the 1980s that baseball surpassed sumo in popularity. Recent decades it has had a decline in popularity as western entertainment has invaded the recreational landscape of Japan. The sport has though spread to countries all over the world as an amateur sport and is gaining popularity in a new field. Now at least 84 countries have their own amateur sumo circuit and are a part of the International Sumo Federation. This interest from abroad might be able to revive the popularity of the professional sumo that has been stained by scandals over and over again. The scandals include xenophobia on behalf of the Nihon Sumo Kyokai, cheating amongst sumo wrestlers, violence in the stables and gender discrimination.
