On June 14, the Japan Sumo Association wrapped up its second successful overseas trip in the space of less than a year.
Selling out both days at the 15,000-seat Accor Arena in Paris, the JSA built on the momentum generated by last October’s visit to London and continues to reinvigorate interest in Japan’s national sport across Europe.
Inside the ring, Kotozakura was the overall champion, taking home the trophy after downing yokozuna Hoshoryu in a matchup of daily winners.
