Children's Sumo wrestling at Kamigamo-shrine

The princess ... all the fighting is mainly to entertain her.


Before the wrestling starts, for some reason two old priests have to jump around and make noises like crows. Other than that they spend the afternoon sitting in some kind of booth.


The coach sits with his disciples beside the arena while the lonely fighter enters.


Ready... Go!


A critical look aroud... and let the fun begin!


And at the end a nice group picture:
