OSAKA -- Hanshin Contents Link, a subsidiary of Hanshin Electric Railway, will open an experimental hall with sumo-themed shows in the Osaka commercial complex of Namba Parks on May 30 to introduce foreign visitors to Japanese culture and tradition through the traditional sport.
At the Sumo Hall Hirakuza Osaka, performances by former professional sumo wrestlers will start with events like shokkiri comedy skits by pairs demonstrating illegal moves and unacceptable behavior in the ring in order to help visitors understand the rules, history and culture of sumo.
