Looking from our seats down to the covered ring.


To our left is the broadcast booth and many cameras below them.

Yamamotoyama (on the left in red) is the largest performer in sumo at this time -- 252 kg --over 555 pounds! and he stands 191 cm tall -- just over 6 ft. Yama means "mountain" so his name suits him very well . . .
