Something I wasn’t prepared for was how many women absolutely go wild for sumo in a country that is largely so emotionally conservative. Like Beatlemania type stuff. It was such a cool surprise. Also, Juryo is so much bigger than I realized. Not the AAA baseball equivalent I expected.

follow @raincitysumo.bsky.social (i think they're more active on IG if you're still there)
They have their big tournament on 4/12 but this is a test run of sorts i think on 2/9 - i think it's open door (should have checked with them first 😬) but it's at the JCCCW on 16th Ave S and Weller
