According to a long tradition established in 1970, the Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Japan presents the winner of the Grand Sumo Tournament with a diploma and a hand-cut cup made of Czech crystal.

This time, Ambassador Martin Klučar was represented at the ceremonial event by the Honorary Consul of the Czech Republic in Sakai, Mr. Kazumasa Kuzumura, who presented the diploma and the Czech crystal hand-cut cup to the wrestler Takerufuji, the first wrestler in 110 years to win a sumo tournament in his debut.

Congratulations!
