- About 100 babies took part in an annual sumo festival, competing to see which baby will cry first. Sumo wrestlers rocked babies and organizers wore colourful masks of foxes and demons in an attempt to make babies cry in Tokyo’s Sensoji Temple.
The traditional “Crying Sumo” event started in 1991 to wish for the health and well being of children.

Are these babies gonna fight or not?
No 😂, it's called 泣き相撲 (crying sumo). As you can see, there are two babies facing each other, and the one who cries more wins the match. These traditional events are usually held to pray for their health and growth
@@yf5464 damn one of my sons would’ve won no problem! 😂
rofl
Can't tell if this is cute or cruel.
Cute
The one is holding up a scary mask?
Lol, my thoughts exactly 😅💯
Cruel
I’ve seen way way worse…and I’m a single dad with full custody of 4 kids.😂
I had no idea upset asian baby faces are so adorable 🥰🥰
They're scared.
Sicko
It is not Sumo, but Naki Sumo (Crying Baby Festival). You can find a Wikipedia article about this tradition.
Why? Is it good luck or something?
@@brookelynnwu8016 from wiki: According to Japanese folklore, a crying baby has the power to ward off evil spirits, while a strong, loud cry indicates the child will grow up strong and healthy.
In 20 years, one of these babies will win a championship!
Looks like the babies dont like it
May the most chill baby win
They look sooooo happy ❤
😂the referees face is so HAPPY & FULL of joy😅
Is this just an opportunity for the sumo wrestlers to show off their babies? Cuz to me it just looks like the babies having a crying competition or a staring competition lol
I think it IS a crying competition
Japan is the neatest country. I think the Korean and Japanese have some of the cutest baby traditions
It’d definitely be cute if they didn’t scare them to make them cry
@@TraceyIsNotMaryGrace they're babies....all they do is cry. They can't talk yet
WELL THAT’S HEALTHY
Just Dads proudly showing off their babies
So its all about who can cry the best, but you play this silly tune over it...must be rigged.
Too many cute babies doing what babies do best…being cute.
That's gonna create a generation of traumatized children.
Love seeing old asian men happy
no these innocent babies do not want to face-off? their innocent souls only know love!❤
I came here to see fighting babies and I just see cute faces 😅
Poor children are to blame for so much nonsense, let them be happy.
Very brave and trusty parents…. They trust those nappies nothing will leak out 😂
It's more of a sumo crying baby festival. Babies are held by sumo wrestlers, qnd who cries the FIRST wins. 😂
Ok, and the point of this is what??? And why is this even a thing???
They are scaring the babies. 😅
Not as fun as I was expecting LOL
It's too cute 🥺🥺🥺🥺
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is this where the sumo wrestlers got the idea of wearing diapers when wrestling?
So let me get this straight, basically you're just trying to purposely make babies cry??? Still cute 😍
It's hot outside and the babies are all surrounded by a bunch of half-naked men wearing diapers just like them. I'd be mad and crying too.
How isn't this a Calgon commerical?
😂
Omg save the babies!!
It’s a cry off ? And they purposely scare them to make them cry ?
Most babies cry at nothing. They should just leave them to see if they cry on their own. If not, then they just don’t “win”
Not one of those kids was happy! 🤣
My niece as a baby, had the same reaction when her papa took he glasses off his face. She didnt like hime for many weeks after that. For thos thinking this is cruel really have no understandingbof the word
Ridiculous 😢 don't you know Elon Musk neurolink is the Mark of the beast and King Jesus Christ is coming back very soon 😮
bro what? stop spewing fear through religion
Japanese babies! ❤❤❤❤
Dog I don't care if this is your tradition Japan This is really ridiculous and I find it as kind of bad parent thing too It looks like y'all are literally stressing your babies out on purpose They don't seem happy about any of that
Wth first
Cant let yo baby learn to punk out.
Can someone please deepfake some baby faces onto actual sumo wrestlers?
The internet is deeply lacking.
as crianças não estão gostando .
Call child welfare 😂🤣😂🤣
What was it? 🤔
Nope
Dont like this
Seeing adults for whatever sport or show letting their babies cry 😤😤😡
❤
Senua bayi dikadih nangis dijepang solau😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗
What a strange culture!
Some traditions are down right stupid!
Что за ритуал
Why should i want that my Baby crying. It is not funny.
Omg! Just too cute!
Stupid and cruel 🙄😬
about you pinch them, they will really cry, compared to exposing them to a scary Summo mask.
One could wonder about the merits of scaring the hell out of sweet little babies!
😂😂😂😂
