The Official Program of the Grand Sumo Tournament.
If you attend the Grand Sumo tournament this is the Program you could purchase. Photographs are in stunning, glossy detail. The Program is about 52 pages long and it contains fabulous pictures of wrestlers in each tournament. The introductory pages and wrestler's information (name, date of birth, height, weight, rank, etc.) are in both Japanese and English. Wrestlers are included from the top division all the way to the third division. Wrestler pictures get smaller as the rank decreases. Other photographs can vary from issue to issue along with advertisements.
