Cheering of Sumo

Following on last time, I will also introduce cheering of the sport which is not baseball this time. The cheering party existed in cheering introduced until now. What kind of role has the cheering team played in cheering? A cheering team is a leader of cheering. When a cheering team exists, the spectator can cooperate and cheering. I would like to introduce cheering of sumo this time. Those who may hear cheering of sumo and cannot understand should exist a little. You will consider cheering of sumo together with me.

The cheering of sumo is very simple. It is that each of spectators send encouragement is the cheering style of sumo. A spectator sends encouragement to a wrestler, sitting on the seat on which the floor cushion is put down. Cheering of sumo differs from cheering of baseball and soccer very much. Baseball and soccer are team events. In a certain game, two cheering teams exist and cheer each team. The cheering of sumo does not much have bipolarizes of spectator's thinking. Spectators cheer praising each player's good fight. Of course, although the element which is the praising a player is contained also in cheering of baseball or soccer, it can see being few compared with aid of an individual match like sumo. Moreover, I think that sumo is a sport which has prepared the opportunity which can see a player from a short distance most in the sport of an individual match. The game of the sumo seen near the sumo ring will be exceptional. One more difference in cheering of the sport of a team event and the sport of an individual match exists. The difference is that the leader of cheering like a cheering team does not exist. Spectators have sent encouragement to players freely in the range which does not receive cautions from the mechanism of each sport. Moreover, the greatest feature of a game of sumo is being able to see the game of both of games of the player as whom the name has become known to in the future and a game of the player who is likely to become famous at the same place. The game of sumo is divided into six periods, and held by every two months, and is held 15 games in one period. That is, 90 games will be held in one year. However, about a wrestler with a low program, only seven games are held in one period. Since there are many wrestlers to whom it belongs as a low program, time will become insufficient if all the members play a game. But two or more places which play a game of sumo cannot be prepared.

Have you seen the scene where the floor cushion is flying about in the sumo ring? This is an act performed when a yokozuna is defeated by the wrestler of degradation of a program. This originates in the act which hands the congratulatory gift of Meiji Era. Sumo is a national game of Japan. It is that such a traditional spectacle can be seen is also one of real thrills of watching a game of a game of sumo.
