(1398) Public service






At the Kokugikan sumo stadium in Ryogoku, morning calisthenics with sumo wrestlers - a variation on the "rajio taiso" but more amusing and a chance to see from up close how well trained these huge guys are. Incidentally, the exercises are the ones they do on a daily basis.



In the end autographs...


...and booklets with the exercises so you can do them at home. Of course that way you miss half of the fun.
