Nihon Sumo Kyokai

朝巣四湯  

4:00 PM The Yokozuna Ring Entering Ceremony

One of the high points of any tournament day, the yokozuna dohyo-iri or ring entering ceremony is performed with a combination of dignity and strength by each competing yokozuna. Flanked by his sword barer on the right and his usher on the left, the yokozuna goes through a series of motions rich in both tradition and meaning.
