I can't wait to be there and see this live

Lon Howard, Fan Liaison Director at Sumo Fan Magazine, writes: The sumo tournaments, commonly called hon-basho, are held for 15 days each in the odd numbered months of the year, beginning on the Sunday nearest the 10th of the month, which is usually the second Sunday of the month. The complete schedule for the year can be found on the Nihon Sumo Kyokai's web site.
