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 festivals of Daijingu Shrine, which was granted the vast land. In the Edo period, fights broke out between the supporters of the wrestlers whenever there was a mistake by the referee, earning it the nickname "Funabashi's Kenka Sumo" (Fighting Sumo) and making it famous as one of the best amateur sumo wrestling events in the Kanto region. The organizer of the dedication sumo wrestling is the Funabashi Daijingu Shrine Dedication Sumo Executive Committee, but in reality, it is the parishioners' youth group. Sumo wrestling is dedicated every year on October 20th during the autumn festival, but since it is a weekday, only adults participate on that day, and the children's division is held on Sundays. The Japan Sumo Federation, which manages amateur sumo wrestling, allows wrestlers to wear a mawashi (sumo belt) over their underwear, but the dedication sumo wrestling at Funabashi Daijingu Shrine follows the tradition of the national sport and requires everyone except women to wear the mawashi directly on their skin. In the explanation of the tournament, the phrase "wrestling with a fundoshi (loincloth)" was introduced, and the children were taught to call the sumo mawashi a "fundoshi." Some schools say they will participate if they can wear a mawashi over their underwear. However, they do not accept any requests that would damage traditional culture, and I was moved by the fact that the people of Funabashi have steadfastly protected the national sport of sumo wrestling, which they have inherited for 400 years.
