''Sumo wrestling has been both a popular art form and sport since the 6th century, and originated in Shinto temples. The wrestlers begin training in their early teens by endless practice, strenuous exercise and the avid eating of special foods. To become serious contenders, the men must reach an enormous size, 113 to 170 kilograms. The aim of a match is for one contender to force the other out of the ring, or to touch the clay surface with any body part besides a foot. The wrestlers appear first in the heavily embroidered aprons donated by dedicated fans, and then strip down to skimpy loincloths and a special kind of bun-like hairstyle.''
