Nomisukune Shrine
墨田区亀沢２丁目８−１０ 野見宿禰神社
This shrine enshrines Nomisukune, who is regarded as the progenitor of sumo wrestling. It is located in the vicinity of the Ryogoku Kokugikan. There is a tradition for newly appointed Yokozuna (grand champions) to perform their Tofuiri (ring entrance) before the deity at the shrine.
History
The shrine was founded in 1884 by Chika Mikifuku, the former Izumo no Kuni-no-miyatsuko (Governor of Izumo Province), who received the site of the former Uchigoya residence of the Tsugaru clan. The shrine buildings were destroyed in the Tokyo air raids during World War II but were rebuilt in 1953. It is managed by the Japan Sumo Association and is revered by those involved in the sumo world.
