Sumo

A larger than life experience.  Is it wrestling?  Is it theater?  Religious ceremony?  Sport, martial art? Who are these sumo wrestlers?  So much ritual, so many rules governing their lifestyles.  The fear they throw into one another, the balance of mass and gravity and momentum.  Who are these bodies and minds?  What do they know, what do they feel?  It's an interesting thing;  I wonder what pulse makes it move.
