Sumo Babies Crying?
This past weekend, at Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, 84 babies participated in the ‘crying’ sumo contest or Nakizumo. The first baby to cry or the loudest crier is deemed the winner! Like the other traditions surrounding Children’s day, this event is held to pray for children’s healthy growth.
CNN has put a photo show up documenting the event. It is worth a look as some of these babies are just too cute!
