On July 7th (Sunday), the 30th National Naughty Sumo Tournament ``Courage, Civility, Gratitude'' - Always a Naughty Peace in the Heart!!! - was held at the sacred place of sumo, the Ryogoku Kokugikan.
The day before the tournament | Lecture by Master Hidenoyama
In the lecture the day before, Mr. Motokotoshogiku and Mr. Hidenoyama spoke about his own experiences in hopes of leading to a brighter future for the children who will become the leaders of the next generation.As the players approached the day before the tournament, they were able to learn from Master Hidenoyama, a sumo champion with experience competing in naughty sumo, the importance of hard work in daily practice, and the strong will to take on challenges to achieve their dreams.Additionally, by allowing a long question and answer period, we were able to encourage the children's active participation.
The day before the tournament | Sumo room accommodation
Through the overnight experience, I learned from active sumo wrestlers and people involved in sumo the importance of daily physical and mental training, courtesy, and the gratitude of respecting one's opponent.In addition, by giving a glimpse into the lives of active sumo wrestlers who continue to challenge themselves to achieve their dreams, children can experience the importance of having dreams and pushing forward to achieve them, and encourage the healthy mental and physical development of children as they take on challenges toward the future. This was done with the aim of connecting.
Edo NOREN and Ryogoku Station Hirokoji project
The purpose of this event was to spread awareness of Wanpaku Sumo to general visitors, increase attendance, and contribute to brand improvement.Unlike previous years, by cooperating with organizations that receive cooperation, sponsorship, and sponsorship from other organizations in planning, we will build strong relationships that will lead to next year's operations.
Underground hall project
By having the Japan Sumo Association (a public interest incorporated foundation) carry out some of the planning and management, we were able to provide the participating athletes and the children who attended on the day with an experience that introduced them to the national sport of sumo. .This project aims to help children develop mentally and physically as they take on challenges in the future.
Sumo activities (tournament style by grade level)
This year's slogan, "Courage, Civility, Gratitude ~ Always have naughty peace in your heart!!!" and the theme of the event, "Further progress towards a bright future!!", were held with the theme of learning through experience.It is not just a competitive sport, but a competition that transcends victory and defeat by fostering the ability to believe in oneself by competing in matches, learning to be considerate of one's opponent through the etiquette of sumo, and valuing gratitude to those who support the tournament. Our primary goal is to contribute to the development of the next generation of leaders by providing opportunities for children to develop their skills.
Video distribution and naughty sumo documentary program production
We also expanded awareness of Wanpaku Sumo by broadcasting it on video channels and TV programs.In addition, by increasing the exposure of Wanpaku Sumo in the media and various other areas, we hope that sponsor companies, which often change over the course of a year, will also feel the benefits, which will lead to gaining new supporters and collaborators for future tournament operations. I'm thinking of going.
