Inhaltsangabe

"Sumo, which dates back over 2,000 years, was first performed at Shinto shrines to entertain the emperor and the gods and as a prayer for a good harvest. So, to fully appreciate and enjoy the sport one needs an understanding of Japan's ancient culture, people, and Shinto religion. In "The Way of Salt" author Ash Warren takes us on an exploration of Japanese society and history as seen through the lens of sumo culture. Illustrated with over 70 B&W photos; contains glossary (terms in romaji, kanji, and hiragana)"-- Provided by publisher.
