#Sumos - Decision

making

This earlier Series is an abstraction of the Japanese tradition

of Sumo-Wrestling as the embodiment of the three criteria
for decision-making. ‘Hindsight, Insight, and Foresight’ are
fundamental to the practice of Sumo, with wrestlers

adhering to strict living conditions, preparations and
practice, often for up to twenty years before facing

professional bouts, ten years of which are spent studying
their opponents. Surrounded by thousands of wagering
spectators,

Sumo-wrestlers have the least amount of time of all athletic

disciplies in which to make their decisions. This tradition as a
meticulous expression of decision-making, and the
integration of ‘Hindsight, Insight and Forsight’as an intuitive

art form in achieving exemplary outcomes, is further
depicted in three different faces, Concave, Flat and Convex.
