Sumo is a unique sport and its merchandising reflects that fact.
While many sports rely heavily on wearable items like hats, T-shirts, and replica uniforms, sumo tends to focus more on traditional Japanese goods and edibles.
Tegata (autographed handprints), banzuke (ranking sheets) as well as various confectionaries, snacks and other foods branded with sumo logos or shaped like wrestlers are among some of the sport's more popular souvenirs.
