Again, before the actual tournament. They bring in a bunch of children, from elementary to middle school, I think. It's a demonstration to the public and whatnot. Fun to watch.
Because sumo is a traditional as well as national sport. It wouldn't be sumo without the mawashi and the rituals and the hair. I know where you're going though. I suppose if they were looking to expand sumo, make it more global, they might want to change a few things.
Hehe, yeah, they can be. XP
