What is Japan's national skill?

It is said that the origin of sumo can be traced back to ancient records (7 12) and the myth of competition strength and the legend of your competition with the speed of the sky in the book of Japan (720). In ancient times, in order to predict the harvest of crops in that year, powerful people held a contest of strength, and then became a court ceremony that lasted for about 300 years.

Another example is "dusty hands and water", where players crouch on both sides, stretch horizontally to both sides with their hands folded, and palms up to show that their opponents are unarmed. Action is just a form, but it conveys the pure heart of sumo-pure games are more ornamental.
