Does something seem strange about this scene? The boy umpire with the fan is much larger than the sumo wrestlers themselves. Perhaps this match is not between live wrestlers but between toys, an amusement known in Japanese as karakuri sumō. This is karakuri sumo inside a karakuri tableau—a scene within a scene.
