A beloved highlight of the annual Fuigo Festival at Masue Goro Inari Shrine is the lighthearted “Blindfolded Women’s Sumo.” All participants and referees are women, and each wears a hood depicting one of the Seven Lucky Gods, covering their eyes as they kneel in the ring and search for their opponent by touch. The comical, endearing matches often prompt warm laughter, with spectators calling out helpful hints like “to the right!” or “in front!” to guide the wrestlers. The event closes with an open invitation for audience members to join in.
