The Relay of Effort posters were produced to support the High School Sumo Tournament. They appeared in newspapers, and also at the tournament venue. Their core idea is to visualise the culmination of effort, and go against the current trend of thinking that just having fun is enough for club sports. This gave participating wrestlers an opportunity to feel proud of the effort they have made.
