I took this at the Ryogoku Kokugikan National Sumo Arena in Tokyo. I was in town for the Tokyo Grand Sumo Tournament and managed to get a ticket.

I took this at the Ryōgoku JR Station in Tokyo. It's next to the Ryogoku Kokugikan National Sumo Arena, and on the way out of the station, there is a lot of sumo-related stuff on the walls.
