EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Nishi no kata Kagamiiwa, The sumo wrestler Kagamiiwa of the West Side" created by Utagawa Toyokuni in 1847, we are transported to the world of Japanese sumo wrestling. The print showcases a full-length portrait of Kagamiiwa, a renowned sumo wrestler known for his strength and skill. Standing tall and proud, Kagamiiwa is depicted facing left with a vibrant kimono draped over his broad shoulders. The intricate details of the woodcut bring out the rich colors that adorn both his attire and surroundings. This artwork truly captures the essence of traditional Japanese artistry. The artist's mastery is evident in every stroke as he expertly portrays Kagamiiwa's powerful presence through his stance and expression. One can almost feel the intensity radiating from him as he prepares for an upcoming match or perhaps reflects on past victories. This print not only serves as a visual tribute to one individual but also provides us with a glimpse into the revered world of sumo wrestling during this era. It reminds us of Japan's deep-rooted cultural traditions and their dedication to preserving ancient practices. Quint Lox has beautifully captured this historical masterpiece from Liszt Collection, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty and significance even today.
