How we checked
Last checked October 20, 2026 against e-asakusa.jp. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text.
Notes from the last check
Verified from the organiser's 2026 event page and a Taito ward page that the Sensō-ji crying-baby sumo ran on 25 April 2026 at the temple's rear plaza; no 2027 date or announcement was found, so the next edition is recorded as tba.
