EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cirque de lutteurs" takes us back in time to the 19th century, showcasing a mesmerizing scene of wrestling in Japan. The French School engraving, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for Le Tour Du Monde in 1869. The image has been digitally cleaned, enhancing its intricate details and allowing us to appreciate the historical significance it holds. It transports us to a world where exploration and cultural exchange were at their peak. In this intense battle scene, we witness Japanese wrestlers engaging in a fierce sumo match. Their muscular bodies clash with strength and determination as they confront each other on the mat. The energy emanating from this fight is palpable; it captures the essence of conflict and competition that has long been associated with Asian martial arts. Asians have always held deep reverence for physical combat as an art form, and this engraving beautifully encapsulates that sentiment. From ancient times until today, fighting has played a significant role in shaping Asian history and culture. This print by Bridgeman Images invites viewers to delve into the rich tapestry of Japanese history while appreciating the skillful artistry behind these traditional wrestling matches. It serves as a reminder of how sports can transcend language barriers and connect people across different cultures through shared passion for competition.
