Wow, what a difference from western competitions. All of them being around the ring together, as one unit. And also, simultaneously, all of them having their own unique perspective.
Ah, the enigmatic "waving of the bendy fishing pole"! I appreciate your curiosity, and let me clarify this intriguing tradition for you. What you witnessed at the end of the sumo basho video is known as Yumitori-shiki (弓取式). During this ceremony, a designated wrestler, typically from the makushita division and often associated with a yokozuna's stable, performs a ritual with a flexible bamboo bow. It's a graceful way to mark the end of the day's sumo matches and showcase the wrestler's dexterity.
@@twostraycats Been a sumo fan since 2016. Thanks for this. Good fix for The Between Bashos Blues😊. Not familiar with your channel. Are you ALL sumo? this 🇺🇸 👵 ❤ 🇯🇵 💪.

@16:58 - Can anyone explain these rituals? They seem to be signaling to each other in someway that they are not quite ready to wrestle, and want to start again, exit the ring, and prepare again. Throw salt, come back in, repeat a few times. Once, I noticed that one of the wrestlers went to the crouching position with open hands on his knees, and it seemed that the other sumo understood that they were gonna stand up again. Also a couple times they both put their hands on the ground and didn't fight, but instead got up. I tried searching around for these traditions/rules/ceremonies, but I think I just don't know the right wording to search for. You see them sometimes, and then other matches it's just GO!!!!. So I don't understand the significance, or how the signaling is working. Also, the crowd seems to love it, so I would like some insight on that as well. One other thing: "Sanctuary", a Netflix TV show about sumo, is pretty awesome. It's what's has led me down the path to start learning more about sumo wrestling. I cannot wait for the next season! Thanks in advance for any information that could be provided!
So, we are pretty sure that it's just a g-up, like the stare down before boxing, or the smack talking in other sports. They're seemingly hyping each other up, as-well as the crowd. This happened every single match, I just edited it out sometimes to keep it interesting and shorter. But they did this at least once or twice each before actually wrestling. I guess another part of it that it could be about is that they often fight for only a couple of seconds, so the time spent here helps you remember who's who, and allows the audience to be a part of it all before the match actually begins. As for the signals that they use, I've got no idea, what I did notice was that when it's go time, they both have both knuckles on the ground before the match actually begins. When they're still warming up, their knuckles don't touch the ground. Glad you've become a fan, if you ever get the chance to see it with your own eyes, please treat yourself to it, it was a highlight of our trip in Japan.
@twostraycats is correct; the repeated face-offs and retreats to the corners before a bout are meant to hype up the crowd, psych up each wrestler, and attempt to intimidate opponents. I wrote a further explanation, but it was kind of a mess, so I'm going to borrow a reddit comment that it explains it more clearly: "There are several components. All of the stare downs and going back and forth they do prior to the initial charge (tachiai) is called shikiri naoshi. These pre-bout rituals aren't just for honor and ritual, nor for showing off to the crowd. It's part of the psyching up that both wrestlers do for themselves and toward each other to prepare to slam into each other with such force. Ideally, they're not just psyching themselves up but also synchronizing with each other to start. There's a real mind-game in this part and it takes a fair amount of sumo-watching to really start noticing the subtle body language shifts. The stoic faces that wrestlers put on for the crowd aren't just to demonstrate grace under fire. It's a poker face. This part used to last much longer, but it has now been shortened to prevent matches from going on and on and on. To the trained eye, this part can have a lot of suspensful excitement. This is why you'll often hear clapping and approval from the crowd after a staredown that leads to a trip back to the salt." The lowest 4 divisions out of 6 (the bottom ~89% of pro sumo wrestlers) have a much shorter shikiri naoshi period with no salt-throwing or repeated trips to their corners. This is for scheduling reasons - they need to get through the lower ranked matches pretty quickly each day. This video only shows the top division wrestlers, who are the top 42 guys out of 600+ in pro sumo. The guys in div 2 get about 3 minutes of pre-bout rituals before each match, and the guys in div 1 get about 4 minutes. This is controlled by the designated timekeeper of the 5 ringside judges. The timekeeper signals the referee ("gyoji") when the time is up and the match must start. Before sumo was broadcast on TV (and had to end at a reliable time each day to fit into NHK's programming schedule), they'd sometimes allow the shikiri naoshi to go on far longer, especially for big and/or crucial bouts.
*I used to watch sumo a lot back around a decade ago, I don't think I see Hakuho perhaps he retired? I know very little Japanese so following the sport was difficult once my English source disappeared. 😅 Nice to see again, would be amazing to see in person*
@@tdillpickleh4684 No, Hakuho's right knee was badly damaged by the end of his career. He tried multiple surgeries, but by his final basho, he required a doctor to painfully drain the fluid from it each day just so he could stand and walk. There were certain political forces in the JSA that worked against him (like the decision to deny him ichidai-toshiyori), but I don't think they had any part in his decision to retire.
The envelopes are called "kensho", and as previously stated, they are full of prize money given to the winner of a bout. The prize money comes from corporate sponsors, who create advertising banners and pay for them to be paraded around the ring before each match they choose to sponsor. Each banner = one envelope, and each envelope has about 30,000 yen in cash (~$210 USD currently, though the yen is rather weak right now). In addition, for each envelope won, another ~30,000 yen is deposited into a sort of retirement account for the winning wrestler.
If you're referring to the leg lifts/stomps they do before each match, that's called "shiko." It's both a ritual and a warmup. Shiko is one of the fundamental training exercises that wrestlers do every day, often hundreds a day, to build up stronger legs and hips and to improve core strength and balance. When performed before a match, it is thought that the stomps "lock up" or "drive away" any bad spirits that might be inhabiting the ring.

There are wrestlers in the “good shape” you’re talking about but they don’t last long. They get hurt quickly and hurt or not they have to fight. If they don’t they get demoted.

Because of the lack of weight classes, sumo wrestlers need to be as heavy and strong as possible so they can be explosive even at 200kg
