Sumo wrestling is known across the world as a beloved form of entertainment, a grand display of strength, and an ode to Japan's ancient past and traditions. But surprisingly, many of these so-called "ancient" traditions were actually recent inventions. So, what were these fabricated practices, and how do they relate to sumo’s true history? Lee Thompson traces the evolution of the sport.
