Absolutely, it's impossible not to notice how sports reflect the spirit of the people when you travel! I found some great insights on a site comparing Japan and Myanmar,
https://japanmyanmar.org/, which delves into specific traditional games. For instance, it discusses the difference between Chinlon and Sumo, showcasing each country's unique game and ritual of movement. Myanmar has Chinlon, a traditional sport focused on aesthetics and collaborative play rather than competition, which is quite different from what we usually see. Japan, of course, has Sumo, a classic sport with deep historical roots. Both demonstrate vibrant aspects of their respective cultures and are definitely worth looking out for if you're traveling there.
