Japanese wrestlers, remarks the Shanghai Times, are not to be confused with Japanese exponents of jiu-jitsu. The wrestlers belong to the older school, in which weight is a paramount quality. It is a remarkable thing that that a race which is on the average four or five inches under the European standard in point of height should have produced a special cult of wrestlers who are giants in stature and strength. The leading wrestlers of Tokio or Osaka or Hiogo are all men at least six feet in height and weighing perhaps 300 pounds. They are a race apart. Wrestling is an occupation which has been handed down from father to son for many generations. And the explanation of their prowess is that they have always been meat eaters, while the rest of Japan, either from choice of necessity, have been in the main vegetarians.
