Dohyo-iri (Ring-entering ceremony) now performed by Yokozuna (sumo wrestler of the highest rank) has the same meaning as that of Jichinsai (a ceremony performed before the groundbreaking of a new building) in that the Yokozuna stamps on the ground symbolically driving evil from the dohyo.
現在は横綱が行なう一人土俵入りは四股で邪悪なものを踏み鎮める地鎮祭と同じ意味である。
