Description: Just what is Sumo? Is it a sport, a religion, an aesthetic feast, living traditional culture, or a battle of titans? The simple answer is Yes! For the first time ever, David Benjamin's The Joy of Sumo strips away the veneer of culture and looks at Japan's national sport through the eyes of a true aficionado. Learn what makes sumo exciting. Read what makes individual wrestlers tick. Understand why there are no weight divisions. Find out how to remember names. Memorize tactics. But most of all grasp why such a plethora of descriptions of the sport can all be true. Sumo, like any sport, has its heroes, horrors, and hilarity, and the The Joy of Sumo has something for everyone. Guaranteed to provide invaluable information for everyone from the novice fan to the expert, The Joy of Sumo also is the first book to do it with the same humor normally associated with football, basketball, or baseball.
