EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Wrestlers at Yokohama" takes us back to the year 1855 in Japan. Created by Sarony & Co. , a renowned New York-based artist and lithographer, this chromolitho print captures an intense wrestling match known as sumo. The image showcases not only the wrestlers but also the vibrant atmosphere surrounding them. As we delve into the scene, we witness enthusiastic spectators gathered around the ring, eagerly watching every move of these traditional Japanese athletes. The composition reveals a structure in the background with seating reserved for important guests, including members of Commodore Perry's expedition. The print measures 15x22.125 cm and is part of the Jackson Collection of American Lithographs housed in Philadelphia's Free Library. It was created by W. T. Peters based on nature itself, adding an authentic touch to this artwork. Sumo wrestling holds great significance in Japanese culture and has been practiced for centuries as both a sport and tradition. This image serves as a testament to its enduring popularity even during times when Japan was opening up to foreign influences like Commodore Perry's arrival. Through this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the excitement and energy that surrounded sumo wrestling matches in historic Yokohama.
