During the Shinto purification ceremony to consecrate the dohyou, the contents of the offering buried at the center are (12:27, clockwise from upper-right corner): Japanese nutmeg, dried chestnuts, salt, washed rice, dried squid, and kombu (type of seaweed).
Mahalo Araibira, for uploading this and thanks to everyone for their informative comments. :) I found the mixture of hand tools, from the very traditional wooden rams to the modern stainless steel trowels particularly interesting.
Please make another, longer video. I noticed no tool had any motors. All by hand and foot.I still don't know the clay's source. Did they fully tear out the old dohyo? What did they do with it?
Everything is done manually and with traditional tools, the same crew if artisans build a new dohyo for every Basho, 6 times a year every odd month! The quality of the clay is obviously very important, but I don't know from where they take it and what they do after!
10:20 I’m barely at 10 minutes into this and it’s probably too soon to ask because it might show up at the end of the video. But don’t they bury something in the dohyo too?
Incredible what a bunch of guys can do with a pile of dirt, bundles of rice straw and a few primitive tools when it is done with tradition and care and attention to detail.
+Factologist In an artisan sense, I would say no. In a Buddhist sense, I would say yes. "We spent this time and effort building this arena. It, however, is pure despite our intentions," is a way I'd describe it
I've seen them doing this before but I never knew about that consecration thing from 11:20 to 13:10. And I thought it was the job of the lowest division's wrestlers to make the dohyo :(

Thank you so much, I was trying to figure out what they were putting in as offering.
I recognised the nutmeg and the rice. Wasn't sure about the others. Would have been difficult to find out the squid. 😂
u did not recognize the salt? i only know the salt 😭@@Janka007
Thanks for bringing us into the Sumo arena every two months. Congrats!!!
Nothing like a good combination of craftsmanship, experience, dedication, and teamwork!
It stands for many things but safely aint one.
The amount of effort and attention to perfection that goes into making a Dohyo is absolutely insane.
Mad respect. This is incredible.
Nothing but respect for these guys , im really digging this sumo wrestling......

Those guys are building the spot where legends are made.
It is awesome! And yes, a brand new dohyo is build every basho.
absolutely amazing.. was always so curious how these rings came together. Thanks for uploading!
I love the dichotomy of advanced automation in so much Japanese life and the adherence to methodical handcrafted precision in traditional things.
Excellent video, and an unbelievable amount of work and dedication gone into the construction too… 👍
Nice and instructive video. Amazing what you can do in a sandbox.
Very nice contribution to SUMO understanding!
Thank you!
This is the reason why I love SUMO.

thank you for uploading this arabira . I was always curious about how the ring is made.
Wow it looks soooo good and the process of making it was so relaxing to see
thanks for sharing with us, Araibira! It was interesting to see it:)
I only know a little bit about staking a foundation, but it works better if you set the stakes outside the thing you are staking 1:20
But then it wouldn't be a traditional dohyo, yes?
They are OBSESSED with perfection. Have nothing but respect for them.
Except for 14:40

Beautiful. The Japanese have this deep connection with nature and symmetry. Fantastic video!

Such beautiful tradition

Amazing! I'm going to the beach to build one soon! 😬
Are those sake bottles here and there?
Are massive cracks considered a feature of the ring?
+Factologist In an artisan sense, I would say no. In a Buddhist sense, I would say yes.
"We spent this time and effort building this arena. It, however, is pure despite our intentions," is a way I'd describe it
the clay dries out over time and shrinks, so cracks form naturally
Beautiful
How many days or man hours?
Amazing! Nothing beats tradition and culture.
Beautiful. Thanks for such an excellent video!
Craftsmanship is a beautiful thing.
Super excelente y espectacular.
Quedé fascinada por tanta dedicación y perfeccionamiento de su trabajo.
Sin duda, una gran obra👏👏👏
This is just mind blowing. Awesome.
Wnat is the straw ring called in Japanese?
traditional sport and traditional equipments. nicely done!
Quiet and sacred .
and is the Dohyo rebuilt for every event and taken down after the event?
Yes.
No
Yeah but its up for a single tournament, tourneys last 15 days, so they get alot of matches out of it.
I searched for how they build a sumo ring and im surprised to find out its made using dirt rather than some sort of platform covered with dirt.
They’re respect for defining and preserving their culture is unmatched.
low tech, labor intensive and traditional - a method that will last
So awesome!
職人技だ
なんか、美味しそう
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bravo !!!!!!!!!!
Great
Great video

That's only in their heya
Muito interessante. Amei.
amazing! I didn't know this even though I'm a Japanese sumo fan.
