Yumitorishiki - Yumitorishiki

Japanese: 弓取式 - ゆみとりしき

In sumo performances, a bow is given as a prize to the winner of the last bout of the day, and a substitute makushita wrestler receives it, swings it vertically and horizontally on the ring, and performs shiko (sumo squats). It is said to have originated from a sumo festival in the Heian period, where a dancer appeared on the winner's side and took up a bow to perform a tachiai-mai dance, and the practice of giving bows to winning wrestlers began with Oda Nobunaga. In Edo kanjin sumo, the third winning wrestler in the final bout of the final day was given a bow for the ozeki rank, a string for the sekiwake rank, and a pair of arrows for the komusubi rank. It gradually became a ritual, and from the January 1952 tournament, the Yumitori Ceremony has been held every day (the winning sanyaku wrestler is only given a bow, string, and arrows on the final day).

Japanese:

相撲興行において，１日の最後の取組の勝力士に賞として与えられる弓を代人の幕下力士が受け取り，土俵上で縦横に振り回し四股(しこ)を踏む儀式。平安時代の相撲節会(せちえ)で，勝者の近衛側から舞人が登場し，弓を取って立合舞を演じたのが起源とされ，勝力士に弓を与えることは織田信長に始まる。江戸の勧進相撲では千秋楽の結びの３番の勝力士に，大関相当者に弓，関脇相当者に弦，小結相当者に矢１対を与えるようになった。のち次第に儀式化し，1952年１月場所からは毎日弓取式が行われることになった（三役の勝力士に対する弓，弦，矢の授与は千秋楽だけ）。
