Women's sumo

Women's sumo (Japanese: 女相撲, Hepburn: onna-zumō) is a form of sumo played by women.

Professional sumo traditionally forbids women from competition and ceremonies. Women are not allowed to enter or touch the sumo wrestling ring (dohyō).^[1] Despite this, women sumo wrestlers have existed through history and exist in the present day on an amateur level.
