""Ich sehe schon, wie gross und stark du mal wirst", prophezeit der alte Shomintso jedes Mal, wenn er den schmächtigen Jun in den Strassen Tokyos trifft. Und wie beiläufig lässt er ihm eine Eintrittskarte fürs Sumo-Ringen da. Doch für Jun ist Sumo die albernste Sache der Welt, "der Inbegriff dessen, was ich an Japan hasste, der Gipfel der Geschmacksverirrung, der Fudschijama des Horrors". Erst als das Leben dem 15jährigen Strassenjungen auch noch das Letzte genommen hat, besucht er das Zentrum des alten Shomintso. Was er dort erlebt, krempelt alles Bisherige von innen nach aussen, und Jun macht den ersten Schritt in ein völlig neues Leben. An der Seite von Meister Shomintso eröffnen sich ihm ungeahnte Welten. Aber kann einer ein wirklich guter Zen-Schüler und grosser Sumoringer werden, wenn er allen Anstrengungen zum Trotz kaum ein Gramm zunimmt? Vom Sumo, der nicht dick werden konnte ist die Geschichte einer Wandlung, denn erst wenn sich einem der Blick für das Wesentliche öffnet, kann man die Schritte tun, die zu tun sind."
"Au Japon, un garçon de 10 ans grandit dans un orphelinat. Il voue une véritable passion aux jeux vidéo et aux technologies. Un lutteur de sumo s'intéresse à lui et entreprend de lui expliquer les fondements et les pratiques de cet art martial qui s'inscrit dans la philosophie zen."
