lions and tigers and sumo...oh my

This is a wonderful book about sumo. I espicially enjoyed it because it had alot about the sumo wrestlers in the 80's which was the time I remember my parents cheering and howling at the TV watching this ancient, wonderful sport. As a teenager I was in love with Chiyonofuji, who in no doubt was an incredible good looking sumo man. (he is on the front cover) Wonderful pictures and a clear, concise writing on understanding the sport itself. If you have an interest in Sumo or even if you know all about this sport, I def. recommend this book as part of your library.
