photography

Grace and Girth
by Kurt Easterwood

These photos were taken over two days at a recent Sumo wrestling tournament in Tokyo. I'm a big fan of Sumo, and while I'm interested in it as a sport, I'm even more interested in the way it combines "sport" with a certain ritualized ceremony, refined over the course of its 1500-year history.
