In professional sumo wrestling, what substance is thrown into the ring before a match to purify it?
Tap your pick
Sumo wrestlers throw handfuls of salt into the ring before stepping in to purify the sacred space and ward off evil spirits, a practice deeply rooted in Shinto ritual. This tradition also serves a practical purpose, as salt acts as a mild disinfectant for any cuts or scrapes the wrestlers might get during the bout.
