Two babies, each held by a professional sumo wrestler, compete to cry louder as a referee uses a devil mask to scare them during Nakizumo, the traditional baby crying contest, at Yukigaya Hachiman Shrine in Tokyo, Japan on Saturday. The Nakizumo has been held all over Japan to pray for babies' health and growth, as it is believed that babies crying can ward off evil.
