The dedication sumo wrestling at Funabashi Daijingu Shrine is said to have begun about 400 years ago when Tokugawa Ieyasu stayed in Funabashi for falconry. Local fishermen's children performed sumo wrestling for him, and Ieyasu was so pleased that he dedicated it to the shrine. Even after Ieyasu's Funabashi Palace was abolished, sumo wrestling became an indispensable event in the shrine's festivals, which were granted the vast grounds. In the Edo period, fights broke out between the wrestlers' supporters whenever there was a referee's mistake, earning it the nickname "Funabashi's Kenka Sumo" (Fighting Sumo) and making it famous as one of the best amateur sumo events in the Kanto region. The organizer of the dedication sumo wrestling is the Funabashi Daijingu Shrine Dedication Sumo Executive Committee, but in practice, it is the parishioners' youth group. Sumo wrestling is dedicated at the autumn festival on October 20th every year, but since it's a weekday, only adults participate on that day, and the children's division is held on Sundays.
