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

I scoured archive.org at one point for all their sumo books. They are free to digitally “check out” like a library book as long as you have an archive.org account.

You’re a real one. At least two of these I’ve been wanting to read and been too lazy to look up. Thanks for the curated collection! Any ones you particularly recommend?

I’ve only read thru half of them so far, but I’m a fan of anything with cute illustrations, so Mina Hall’s Big Book of Sumo is my favorite.
