 note = {This article deals with the historical development of the ceremonial sumo tournament known as “Buzaemon-Sumo”, which takes place during the Bon festival in the Hiyoshi District of Kihoku Town in Ehime Prefecture. The forerunner of this tournament was the “Rokujizo-Sumo” (sixth Jizo sumo wrestling tournament), which was held to honor the ancestors of the inhabitants of the Hiyoshi District and which first took place in the Edo period. Since 1935 the “Rokujizo-Sumo” has been held in front of the Buzaemon monument, erected in 1927 to honor Buzaemon and his comrades for their great deeds during the peasant uprising of 1793, and since the 1930s the tournament has been very much influenced by the cult of Buzaemon. When the golden age of this sumo event reached its peak in the 1950s, people began to refer to it not as “Rokujizo-Sumo” but as “Buzaemon-Sumo”. Because of the migration of young people into the major Japanese cities as a result of the economic growth after the late 1950s, support for sumo began to decline. In spite of some attempts to revive the tournament in the 1970s and 1980s, it continued its decline. Today the “Buzaemon-Sumo” festival is associated more with children than with adults and the number of spectators is decreasing. This is because of individualism, urban lifestyles, the diversification of people’s values and leisure activities, and the pressure of work, as a consequence of Japan’s economic growth, together with new trends like globalization. In my opinion, more should be done to revitalize festivals such as the “Buzaemon-Sumo” in the Hiyoshi district. In short, think globally and act locally.},
