lilfox 17 Posted August 17 (edited) On the Japan Foundation's online film festival JFF Theater, the documentary "Sumodo –The Successors of the Samurai" is available via stream until Sept., 30th. https://en.jff.jpf.go.jp/movie/sumodo/ For watching, free registration is necessary. I've seen it before and highly recommend it: It shows trainings and bout scenes, sound bites from rikishi and other people in the sumo world, as well as slices of everyday life in a heya. We see Goeido, injured but still strong, while the sequences with Ryuden and his then fiancee may be a piecec of historical interest. The film comes with a content warning concerning alcohol and nudity. While we indeed see people consuming alcohol, the degree of nudity is within the usual in pro sumo.

Kintamayama 44,274 Posted August 23 (edited) Recommended highly. Ryuuden laughs like Jimmy Carr. Edited August 23 by Kintamayama 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
