Sumo wresters hold up crying babies in front of a referee (C) clad in a traditional costume during a “Baby-cry Sumo” event at the Kamegaike-Hachiman Shrine in Sagamihara, Kanagawa prefecture, on May 14, 2017. Some 150 babies aged under two took part in the annual baby crying contest in the Shinto shrine in Sagamihara.
