<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To the Japanese, sumo is not merely a popular wrestling sport, it has long been performed ritually at festivals since ancient times.&nbsp;Many ancient traditions have been preserved in sumo, and even today the sport includes many ritual elements, such as the use of salt purification, from Shinto. Life as a wrestler is highly regimented, with rules regulated by the Japan Sumo Association, and tickets to sumo tournaments are pricey and often sold out.&nbsp;This is one of the reason why, besides watching sumo matches on TV, we usually have few occasions to enter the world of sumo.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most sumo wrestlers (力士, rikishi) are required to live and practice in communal sumo training stables, known in Japanese as&nbsp;<em>heya</em>（部屋）, where all aspects of their daily lives—from meals to their manner of dress—are dictated by strict tradition.</p>

<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sumo_practice_43597-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-5813" srcset="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sumo_practice_43597-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sumo_practice_43597-300x225.jpg 300w, https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sumo_practice_43597-768x576.jpg 768w, https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sumo_practice_43597.jpg 1440w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sumo wrestlers wake up early in the morning and train hard in the hope of moving up the ranks (mornings in a sumo stable such as Musashigawa-beya can begin at around 5:00 am, everyday). The rare opportunity to visit a stable during one of these morning practices, called&nbsp;<em>asageiko</em>, lets you watch the action close-up!&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I had an awesome experience visiting&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener external" class="rank-math-link" href="http://musashigawa.com/" target="_blank" data-wpel-link="external">Musashigawa-beya&nbsp;</a>recently.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Musashigawa-beya sumo stable is run by oyakata (stable master) Musashigawa Mitsuhide, formerly&nbsp;<em>yokozuna</em>&nbsp;(sumo’s highest rank)Musashimaru.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Born and raised in Hawaii,&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener external" class="rank-math-link" href="https://everything2.com/title/Musashimaru" target="_blank" data-wpel-link="external">Musashimaru&nbsp;</a>was one of the first non-Japanese sumo wrestlers when he came to Japan to train. As of his retirement, Musashimaru had&nbsp;779 wins with 12 championships, and&nbsp;holds the record for the most consecutive tournaments without a losing record! Amazing!!&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Musashigawa-beya had 18 disciples when I visited. Besides living in Musashigawa-beya, they undergo harsh training every day, with wrestling practice in the morning (called&nbsp;<em>asageiko</em>&nbsp;朝稽古) and gym sessions in the afternoon.&nbsp;(Click&nbsp;<a href="https://matcha-jp.com/en/2222" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener external" data-wpel-link="external"><u>HERE&nbsp;</u></a>to read more about the stable.)</p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">第14代武蔵川親方（57代横綱三重ノ海）の定年に従い、その弟子であった第67代横綱武蔵丸光洋（当時年寄大島）に年寄名を譲る事となり、武蔵川光偉（むさしがわ みつひで）、年寄り跡の継承を経て、平成25年4月1日、財団法人日本相撲協会の認可のも武蔵川部屋は創設されました。（武蔵川部屋のウェッブサイトより：<a href="http://musashigawa.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer"><u>http://musashigawa.com/</u></a>）</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">私が行く時、力士は１８人いらっしゃいました。力士達は武蔵川部屋に住んで、午前中は激しい練習（朝稽古）と午後はジムセッションなど、毎日厳しい訓練を受けているらしいです。力士になるためのトレーニングは苦しくて、大変ですね！</p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Addressing the high school students as a Questioner for S-ISEF.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">S-ISEFで高校生たちに対して、発言しました。</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&lt;日本語は英語の後に続きます＞</p>



<div style="height:50px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My previous post&nbsp;「<a aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://rachelleng.com/international-space-exploration-forum-part-1/" target="_blank" class="rank-math-link" data-wpel-link="internal">国際宇宙探査フォーラム　International Space Exploration Forum (Part １)</a>」was on my experience as a Y-ISEF participant learning about the space industry and working with other talented young professionals to present our ideas in the Ideathon. In this post, I wish to share my experience as a Questioner for&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener external" class="rank-math-link" href="http://s-isef.jpn.org/" target="_blank" data-wpel-link="external">S-ISEF&nbsp;</a>(ISEF for high school Students;&nbsp;<a class="rank-math-link" href="http://s-isef.jpn.org/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer"><u>http://s-isef.jpn.org/</u></a>) and representing Singapore on the Y-ISEF Reception stage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At S-ISEF, 7 teams of Japanese high school students prepared 3 minute presentations of their research on space exploration. I served as a Questioner alongside industry researchers, JAXA officials &amp; technical experts during the Q&amp;A session. The whole event was conducted in English, and I was so impressed by how the students were able to present and answer difficult topics with confidence and clarity! (See below for photos and a description of all the high school projects – some of the teams performed impressive experiments!)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Without any background on space exploration, it was a little difficult understanding the technical aspects of certain experiments, but I certainly learned a lot from the high school students. (For example, I did not know much about microgravity, parabolic flight, Zero G, the Magnus effect, or angular momentum generators, etc. discussed in the experiments. Don’t know what these terms mean either? Read below for some explanation!)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aside from S-ISEF, as the only Singaporean to be invited to Y-ISEF, I also spoke on stage at the Y-ISEF Reception to introduce my personal background as a Singaporean together with Singapore’s history, main attractions, food culture, and of course Singlish!&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">本サイドイベントでは、日本の高校生約20名のみなさんに宇宙探査に関する研究成果発表の場を提供しました。宇宙探査に関する研究分野の様々なプロジェクトはありました！例えば、「月面でのローバ探査」や「宇宙資源利用の可能性」や「宇宙空間での飛行士活動及び生物実験」など、私にとって、若手研究者も有識者もないので、質問を聞くのはちょっと大変でしたけど、とても面白かったです。高校生たちのプレゼンテーションは、私にとって、とても勉強になりました。</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Last month, the 2nd International Space Exploration Forum (ISEF2) was held in Tokyo, sponsored by Japan’s Cabinet Office, MEXT, METI, and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

文部科学省及び国立研究開発法人宇宙航空研究開発機構（JAXA）は、2018年3月に東京都内で第２回国際宇宙探査フォーラム（ISEF2）を開催しました。国際宇宙探査フォーラム（ISEF）は、宇宙探査における国際協力の促進を目的とした閣僚級を含む政府レベルでの対話・意見交換の会議です。そして、私は次世代を担う若手を対象としたサイドイベント「Y-ISEF」（ISEF for Young Professionals）に誘われて、4日間のイベントに参加致しました。本サイドイベントでは、国内外の18歳以上から35歳程度までの学生や多様な分野で活躍するヤングプロフェッショナル約80名を幅広く募り、世界をリードする起業家や各国の政策決定者等と今後の宇宙探査について議論し交流する場を提供しました。</p>

An excellent platform was provided for us to&nbsp;exchange ideas with influential visionaries and leaders and address the future of space exploration and business opportunities.<br>&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first day included an exclusive tour of the<a aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="http://global.jaxa.jp/about/centers/tksc/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener external" class="rank-math-link" data-wpel-link="external"><u>&nbsp;JAXA Tsukuba Space Center</u></a>&nbsp;(TKSC), located in Tsukuba Science City. There, I learned about rocket launchers, satellites, space food, and even tried on a spacesuit! Meeting JAXA astronauts and NASA experts over lunch and many small group meetings were fascinating. Because I did not know much about space, everything was new knowledge for me! (Scroll down below to check out photos, captions, and fun facts.)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The main activity in the conference was an Ideathon and presentations. All Y-ISEF participants were assigned to smaller groups to brainstorm innovative ideas related to the space industry, particularly the moon, asteroids, and Mars. I was in Team 3, and our presentation clinched 3<sup>rd</sup>&nbsp;place and the JAXA Award!</p>
