Birthplace of Sumo – Katsuragi City, Nara Prefecture, Japan.

I visited a mysterious place that day.
This is where Japan’s sumo was born.
Sumo is one of Japan’s most iconic sports, but few know the story of its origins. Katsuragi City in Nara Prefecture is thought to be where it all began, as the hometown of Taima no Kehaya, said to be Japan’s first sumo wrestler, and the site of Tenran-zumo—the first sumo match performed for the Emperor.
