Today was our annual New Year's festival at KIST. A whole bunch of the sumo wrestlers from the local stables (we are in that part of Tokyo) come to the school to share about Sumo culture and celebrate the New Year with our students.
The wrestlers and kids work together to make 'mochi' rice cakes and there is opportunity for the students, and teachers to wrestle too. It was a great day of fun learning for all.
Sumire didn't wrestle because she 'didn't want to hurt them'.
Enjoy the pictures
