Annual Naki Sumo (Crying Sumo) Contest

Two wrestlers hold babies, whichever baby cries first, is the winner. This contest has more than 400 years of history. The event, which marks the high point of spring, is held each year at the Sensoji Temple in Tokyo. The baby to cry loudest and longest wins the contest. The competition is also intended to generate good health for the babies. The 400-year old ritual is also believed to ward off evil spirits.
