About 100 babies took part in a ritual called "crying sumo contest" on Saturday at a shrine in Japan's ancient capital of Kyoto.
The Kitano Tenmangu shrine began the annual event 2 years ago, praying for children's health and well-being.
Babies aged between 4 months and 2 years compete in sumo-like bouts wearing braided ropes around their waist and headbands.
