| Abstract: | The Kotorizukai was a lower rank of the Konoehu Officials who brought a Sumainin into the Sumo Ceremony at Kinai. A Sumainin who played a central role in the ceremony usually lived in his country. The Kotorizukai was sent to various parts of Japan to call many Sumainin as ceremony players. Thus the Kotorizukai was one of the key persons in holding the Sumo Ceremony in the 10-11th centuries. There are three criteria for becoming a Kotorizukai. First, a Kotorizukai had to be a Zuijin. Because it was necessary for a Kotorizukai to be nominated by his master out of the group of Zuijin. At first, the masters who could appoint a Zuijin as a Kotorizukai were Konoe Chujyo, Konoe Taisho and the Fujiwara Regent Family. But later, it was limited to the Fujiwara Regent Family and Konoe Taisyo. Second, the Kotorizukai had to be the most diligent among the lower rank of the Konoehu Officials (Kakugon). Third, the Kotorizukai had to be an expert at archery (Nosya). When the above conditions were met, a Kotorizukai was assigned. But towards the 11-12th centuries, the Sumo Ceremony itself had become outdated and ultimately a Kotorizukai was no longer appointed. |
