Greetings from the President [Full text]
`` The Japan Sumo Association has taken into account the situation that has prevented the spread of coronavirus infectious diseases in society as a whole, and above all, it would not bother many fans who support sumo wrestling. We thought that we could never do it, so we decided to hold a sumo march place with no spectators.
Many of you have been looking forward to seeing this place, but we are very sorry for the inconvenience and concern, but we look forward to your understanding.
I also pray that everyone infected with the coronavirus will recover as soon as possible.
This is a book-less place where there are no customers, and it is a very severe field for wrestlers to be able to adjust their feelings, but nevertheless, all wrestlers are looking for local people and fans who are supporting us all over the country. We feel cheerful and cheering, and we will play a full-blown role, meeting the expectations of everyone watching TV.
It has long been said that wrestlers have the power to push evil things under the soil. In addition, Yokozuna has entered the ring to pray for rich harvest and peace in the world.
The wrestler's body is said to be a symbol of a healthy body.
Tokoyama ties her hair, the call hits the claps, Gyoji plays the ring, and the wrestler steps on four legs. It has been believed that this series of acts impresses people and at the same time calms the earth and suppresses the evil.
All members of the association will work together for 15 days so that the power of sumo wrestling will bring courage and excitement to people all over the world, as well as Japan, and bring peace back to the world. You. We look forward to your warm support and encouragement to Chiaki Raku.
