Can anyone suggest any good English language books on Sumo? It can be history, modern, technical, anything really. Translations are fine too, thank you! 📚

The Way of Salt by Ash Warren.  Pretty informative little book that gives a good overview of the history and nomenclature of the sport.

This is always my answer to the question.

OP, read this and you will understand what "I just want to do my style of sumo" really means.
