Japanese Baby-crying Contest Photos

April 30th, 2007 by James

On Saturday, the annual “Baby-cry Sumo” contest was held at Sensoji temple in Tokyo. In the event, which is thought to bring good health, Japanese babies face off against each other in matches to see who can cry the loudest.

More photos from the event can been seen here and here.

I feel bad for the kids being subjected to that. I wonder how many of them get nightmares from strange, large men picking them up and trying to make them cry…

The baby in the yellow hat looks more confused than upset.
