The company specializes in martial arts, specifically operating and controlling professional sumo wrestling in Japan under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). Its core activities involve maintaining and developing sumo traditions and integrity by holding tournaments and tours. Additionally, the Association develops means dedicated to the sport and maintains, manages, and operates the facilities necessary for these activities. To support its operations, the JSA operates subsidiaries including the Kokugikan Service Company for economic organization, the Sumo School for training and instruction, and the Sumo Museum for the preservation and utilization of sumo wrestling records and artefacts.
The Japan Sumo Association prepared for a tour to Paris in June, following a stop in London last year, leveraging sumo as part of Japan's soft power strategy, according to reports on February 3. Previously, on January 28, the Association held a banzuke formation meeting for the Grand Sumo Spring Tournament, scheduled to begin March 8 at Edion Arena Osaka. During this meeting, it was decided that Kotobuki no Fuji and Fujiten Seira would become new Juryo, while Shimazu Kai returned to Juryo. This followed the January 26 regular meeting of the Yokozuna Deliberation Committee, an advisory body, at the Ryogoku Kokugikan. Chairman Osima Rimon expressed expectations for Anseikin's promotion to Yokozuna, highlighting that bowing to the four directions represents "the dignity of Grand Sumo."
