I'm just a big Otaku sharing the two hobbies I love the most: Anything anime and photography. Of course, I care what's going on in the world so some news here and there I will share. What does HAMAKKO [浜っ子, はまっこ] mean? It means a "native of Yokohama."

The centuries-old Nakizumo—or “crying sumo”—festival brings a delightful twist to tradition...Held annually at temples like Senso-ji in #Tokyo or Asakusa, sumo wrestlers engage babies aged 6 to 18 months, coaxing loud cries believed to ward off evil spirits and ensure good health. Full story in ALT.

In Japan, the centuries-old Nakizumo—or “crying sumo”—festival brings a delightful twist to tradition under a crisp autumn sky. Held annually at temples like Senso-ji in Tokyo or Asakusa, sumo wrestlers engage babies aged 6 to 18 months, coaxing loud cries believed to ward off evil spirits and ensure good health.
In each “bout,” two babies enter the ring with a wrestler, who makes funny faces or shouts to trigger tears. The first to cry wins, or if both wail, the louder cry claims victory. If the babies stay calm, a referee might don a tengu mask—a mythical demon—to spur action. Rooted in the proverb *naku ko wa sodatsu* (“crying babies grow fast”), this ritual stretches back over 400 years.
Parents cheer as wrestlers gently tease their little ones, ensuring safety amid the laughter. Nakizumo weaves cultural heritage with heartwarming chaos, celebrating growth through tears in a uniquely Japanese way.
