Scary Contest



Amateur sumo wrestlers, compete in the baby screaming contest, known as Naki Sumo (Crying Sumo), a traditional ritual performed as a prayer for the good health of children, at Senso-ji temple in Tokyo.

I guess kids are terrified of both sumo wrestlers and Santa Claus.

rgmb: the smart pediatricians have their nurses give the immunizations.

Good gracious, there's actually a word for that?

I don't even know what to say, which is pretty scary in itself...
