Babies take part in ‘Nakizumo’ or baby crying sumo contest at Sensoji temple in Tokyo
Babies participate in a traditional Japanese ritual called ‘Nakizumo’ at Sensoji temple in Tokyo, Japan, where amateur sumo wrestlers hold them up and a referee tries to make them cry by making faces and loud noises. The winner is determined based on the loudest baby. This ritual is believed to promote the healthy growth of the children and protect them from evil spirits.
