Sumo Daifukusan Hug Pillow

Wrestler-themed decorative pillow

Cuddly isn't the first word anyone would use when the subject turns to sumo, Japan's national sport, but the truth is that the wrestlers display a playful side more often that most would think: outside the ring, they smile, laugh, and joke a lot, showing people that there's more to them than the tough image they present when they fight. The Nihon Sumo Kyokai Japan sumo association also wants to promote this side of them and this is why you get products like the Sumo Daifukusan Hug Pillow!

Fully sanctioned by the association, the Sumo Daifukusan Hug Pillow is a plush toy shaped like wrestler sleeping while lying down on his belly. Since it is a wrestler, it's big (approximately 74 x 44 x 24 cm or 29.1 x 17.3 x 9.4") and heavy (approximately 1.7 kg or 2.4 lbs), and comes with a mawashi belt properly tied and with a chonmage topknot that even smells like sumo wrestlers' bintsuke abura, the special pomade that makes their hair shiny. Great as a throw pillow and conversation piece, or as a napping companion for your little ones!
