The dohy () is the ring in which sumo wrestling bouts are held. A modern dohy is a circle of rice-straw bales 4.55 meters in diameter, mounted on a square platform of clay 6.7m on a side, and 34 to 60 cm high. The surface is covered by sand. * A new dohy is built prior to each tournament by the yobidashi (ring attendants), who are responsible for this activity. The process of building the dohy takes three days, and is done with traditional tools. The clay used is taken from the banks of the Arakawa River in Saitama Prefecture.

The yobidashi also build the dohy for training stables and sumo touring events.* The diameter of the ring is 15 shaku (4.55 meters), which increased from 13 shaku (3.94 meters) in 1931. The rice-straw bales (tawara ()) which form the ring are one third standard |
