Sanae Takaichi made history by becoming Japan’s first female prime minister and now faces the decision to enter the male-only sumo ring to present the Prime Minister’s Cup at the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament.Although women are banned from the dohyo due to longstanding traditions linked to Shinto beliefs, Takaichi’s conservative background and scheduling conflicts mean she likely will not attend this ceremony but may have a chance at the New Year’s tournament in Tokyo.
