Throwing streamers into the ring is a Japanese tradition ... which is why NXT Women's champ Asuka was showered in them Thursday during her return to the land of the rising sun.

It all went down in Tokyo at Ryogoku Sumo Hall and featured many Superstars who famously wrestled in Japan before WWE -- including Karl Anderson, Doc Gallows, AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura.

Asuka made her entrance mid-way through the show and was hit with a storm of multi-colored streamers before picking up the win over Natalya.

Nakamura was also covered in streamers before his match and both videos are pretty awesome.
