In 1772, amateur sumo wrestlers in present-day Niigata were performing to raise money for a local temple when a pair of sumo pros crashed their event. These wrestlers from the Tokyo sumo guild claimed that only their guild had the right to charge audiences admission. But when the pros tried making off with the ticket money, one was killed and the other barely escaped alive. Back in Tokyo, the guild took their case to a magistrate. They argued that because they were the only guild that adhered to sumo’s most “ancient practices,” no other performers in the country were legitimate. The magistrate accepted this claim.
