【4K動画】京都市北区の世界遺産・上賀茂神社で2025年9月9日、「重陽神事」に伴って地元の男児が相撲を奉納する「烏（からす）相撲」があった。残暑が厳しい中、葵祭の斎王代・山内彩さん（25歳）が見守る境内で、子どもたちが元気いっぱいに力をぶつけ合った。
砂を円すい形に盛った「立砂（たてすな）」の前で、白装束姿の氏子2人がカラスのように横飛びで移動し、「カーカーカー」「コーコーコー」という鳴きまねを披露した。その後、特設された土俵で烏相撲が奉納された。

On September 9, 2025, a "Crow Sumo" event was held at Kamigamo Shrine, a World Heritage Site in Kita Ward, Kyoto City, in conjunction with the Choyo Shinto ritual. Local boys offered up sumo wrestling in the form of a "Crow Sumo" performance. Amid the lingering heat of summer, the children energetically competed against each other in the shrine grounds, watched over by Aya Yamauchi (25), the Saio-dai (deputy) for the Aoi Festival. In front of a cone-shaped pile of sand called "Tatesuna," two parishioners dressed in white robes hopped sideways like crows, imitating their cries of "Ka-ka-ka" and "Koo-ko-ko." Afterwards, the crow sumo performance was offered on a specially constructed sumo ring.
