Women's sumo

Women's sumo (Japanese: 女相撲, Hepburn: onna-zumō) is a form of sumo played by women.

Professional sumo traditionally forbids women from competition and ceremonies. Women are not allowed to enter or touch the sumo wrestling ring (dohyō). Despite this, women sumo wrestlers have existed through history and exist in the present day on an amateur level.
