5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, April 9, 1999
By A Customer
This is the best book you could buy on Sumo. It is informative for the beginner, yet it is not simple facts about the sport because it goes into great detail showing the authors extensive knowledge.

Highly recommended.

This is the best book on sumo you will find. It has a thorough examination of the sport's history and customs, as well as numerous illustrations of the various moves, and photographs of sumo wrestlers. Anyone with any interest in sumo should read this.
