mother likes it when her toddler starts crying, but at the Naki Sumo baby
crying contest wailing is actually encouraged. Held every year, at the Sensoji
Temple, in Tokyo, the baby crying festival is a 400-year-old tradition,
believed to keep rug-rats in good health. Amateur sumo wrestlers hold the
babies high in the air, and try to scare them into crying, while a sumo referee
judges the match. The toddler who cries longest and loudest is considered the
winner. Japanese parents bring the babies to the contest, of their own free
will, and truly believe the sumo induced crying keeps their children in good
health, and wards off evil spirits. This year, 80 babies, all under one year
old, participated in Naki Sumo. As you might have guessed, the whiniest contender
won.
