Metamorphose pour être fort.
This is a transformation to become stronger.
I transform to get rid of bad luck and gain strength.
In Mongolian sumo,
Before the match, there is a dance that the mental like a lion and the body becomes a hawk.
Also in Senegal's sumo, disguise as a lion can be seen in the ritual before the game.
And in Senegal, there is a technique of hitting indigo-dyed cloth to give gloss, and I tried to model it.
The cloth is soaked with beeswax and the groove is carved and polished, and embroidered to express a hawk.
The face uses Kabuki makeup to express the lion.
In addition, the tights that deform the muscles inspired by Japanese sumo costumes increase power,
I borrow an animal model and get stronger.

【Makeup in Kabuki-KUMADORI-】
Kabuki makeup presents the character of the actor.
Like Ukiyo-e, the entire face is painted with white powder, and don't use color for shade.
The white face is proof of being chosen by God, and proof of a good man or a noble person.
Fair-skinned is a condition of beauty, and indicates that it is an upper class member who never works under the sun.
Kumadori is a makeup method that emphasizes facial muscles and blood vessels. The red line shows the amount of blood and is an expression of a brave hero.
There are about 50 types of Kumadori, which play the role of a symbol so that the character of the actor can be seen at a glance.
【Senegal Sumo】(Lutte sénégalaise and traditional costume boubou)
Before the battle, a song is sung to get rid of bad luck and inspire athletes.
A man disguised as a lion with makeup that imitates a fawn using red and black appears.
Then there are beautiful textiles that have been struck with dyed cloth to give them gloss, and embroidered traditional clothes that are highly decorative.
【Mongolian sumo】(Үндэсний бөх)
Before the match, the spirit of a lion and the body of an eagle flutter the wings before admission.
The bolero that wears the role of representing the physique of the athlete's muscles.
