The life of a sumo wrestler is a highly structured affair. Aside from the strict diet and workout regimen, wrestlers are expected to adhere to a strict code of conduct in private and in public. Their workouts are held at the stables (which also serve as living quarters) and are generally closed to public viewing. However, in the week leading up to an out-of-town tournament, the stables practice in guest facilities and lift the viewing restrictions, providing a great opportunity for fans to get a close glimpse of these great athletes. This particular stable held their Nagoya Basho workouts outdoors in a park, which allowed me to get these shots.
