Waseda University’s Sumo Club is a historic athletic club that was founded in 1917. During the All Japan University Sumo Uwashima Championship held last spring, Waseda defeated its strong rival Nihon University, proceeding to the final round of the tournament to be ranked as the top 8th team for the first time throughout Waseda’s history. As for the results for individual competitions, the Club’s ace Yukihiro Hashimoto carried the spirit of Waseda by ranking in the top 8 of the 97th All Japan University Sumo Championship. Moreover, in the 68th All Japan Sumo Championship,\u00a0Hashimoto again advanced to the final round, where for the first time in 30 years he ranked in the top 16, enlivening the tournament.<\/p>\n

This time, the ICC has planned a tour to watch the 10th “Waseda Cup” (a sumo tournament for Waseda students) organized by the Sumo Club and to enjoy a social mixer with Chanko Nabe.<\/p>\n

Sumo is a Japanese martial art. It is based on Japan’s ancient Shinto beliefs, and is also a Shinto ritual. Before we watch the tournament, there will be explanations in Japanese and English about Sumo’s history, rules, etc. So, even if you do not know much about Sumo now, you will be able to enjoy the thrilling matches of the tournament. Then, after the “Waseda Cup” is over, you can mingle with everyone and eat Chanko Nabe!<\/p>\n

This is a rare chance to watch a Sumo match from ringside! If you are interested in Sumo, if you are interested in Japan’s traditional culture, if you want to make more friends, do not miss this chance and join us!<\/p>\n
