Sumo wrestling, one of Japan's most iconic cultural traditions, dates back over 1,500 years.

The photograph also offers a glimpse into the sumo stable, or heya, where wrestlers live and train. The straw mats on the floor, the wooden training equipment, and the simple, rustic decor all contribute to the authentic and timeless atmosphere of this unique and fascinating world.
