Sumo and Deconstruction of Japaneseness

Sumo is one of the national sports in Japan. And it is probably the most internationalized.

Right now a professional tournament is being held in Tokyo. It is either Koto-o-shu or Asa-sho-ryu who will win a champoinship at this tournament. The former is from Bulgaria and the latter from Mongolia. I think they symbolize deconstruction of Japaneseness.
