Nanoblock Sumo Yokozuna Wrestler

Sumo grand champion mini block building set

Of course, it had to be the Japanese: who else would take the concept of building blocks and shrink each block down to 4 x 4 x 5 mm (0.15 x 0.15 x 0.2")?! Celebrating a national obsession with things small that goes back centuries, the Nanoblock kits have become an international hit since they launched in 2008, and a part of Japanese soft power. Themes including landmarks like Tokyo Tower and Himeji Castle, characters like Super Mario and Godzilla, and martial arts like judo and sumo – as in the Nanoblock Sumo Yokozuna Wrestler!

With the Nanoblock Sumo Yokozuna Wrestler kit, you get everything you need to make yourself a grand champion performing his dohyo-iri (ceremonial ring-entering) ritual, provided you're patient enough to put together the 170 mini blocks that make up the figure. As always with Nanoblock kits, the attention to detail is amazing. In this case, even the posture of the figure and the loops on his belt are faithful to the shiranui style from the ceremony. A great addition to any sumo memorabilia collection and a great way to spend a couple of hours!
