Translation

Sumo is a national sport of Japan that has existed since ancient times.

Two wrestlers compete for victory on top of a round clay ring.

You win if you push the opponent out, or make their body touch the ground.

They fight by pushing with the hands or throwing the opponent sideways.

The strongest wrestler is called a "yokozuna".

At famous venues, many people come to watch.

Why six school grades, and not N5–N1?

Because that is how Japanese children learn to read. Japan's Ministry of Education fixes exactly which character belongs to which grade — so "grade 3" is a boundary you can verify, not a feeling. Every article here is machine-checked: if a single character sits above its grade, it is not published.

The result: you never hit a character you have not learned. That is the whole reason this product exists.
