英文注释：

"Iron flowers of Japanese manhood, sumo wrestlers are living icons—heroes of a national sport framed by religious symbolism. Once supported by the patronage of emperors, sumo has roots going back nearly 1,500 years. Before an exhibition tournament in Niigata, competitors trussed in ceremonial aprons enter the arena in the stately and ritualized dohyo-iri procession."

—From "Sumo," July 1997, National Geographic magazine
