President Donald Trump is regularly seen on the golf course - but is he considering trying his hand at a new sport?
Trump is on a four-day state visit to Japan and he joined an estimated 11,500 fans at Ryogoju Kokugiak Stadium to watch one of the country's most treasured cultural events.
At the end, Trump stepped into the ring and presented the eagle-topped "President's Cup" to champion wrestler Asanoyama.
Following the event, Trump said he always wanted to see sumo wrestling and that it was an "incredible evening".
He added: "That was something to see, these great athletes."
Trump was joined at the event by First Lady Melania Trump, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his wife Akie.
Earlier Trump and Abe played 16 holes of golf at the Mobara Country Club, joined by Japanese professional golfer Isao Aoki.
On Monday, Trump will receive the honour of being the first foreign leader to meet Japan's new Emperor Naruhito, who ascended to the throne earlier this month.
