Viewing Notes
A behind the scenes look at sumo wrestlers training that most ppl don’t often get to see. The opening shots at Christmas reminded me of my first visit to Tokyo and being shown this area with all the statues of sumo champions.
My favorite thing is when the director takes the stable to a Korean bbq place and they eat all the meat on hand. The bill was $8000. Hahaha
