Bullfighting#Non-bloodsport variations edit
- In Japan, bullfighting, called Bull Sumo or Bullpushing (牛突き), is not done in the human-against-bull manner, but in the bull-against-bull way, with an encouraging person called a seko (勢子) helping the fight. In this head-to-head pushing fight, the bull, which pushes the other bull out of the fighting circle or when the other bull runs away, wins. Bullpushing has a history of at least from the 12th century, as the Emperor Go-Toba is recorded to have been entertained by bullpushing when he was exiled to the Oki Islands[1].
