EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and dynamic woodblock print captures a moment of intense action in the world of sumo wrestling. The scene depicts a gripping bout between two formidable opponents, Uzugafuchi Kan dayu, the Komosubi of the Eastern Group, and Sekinoto Hajiroji, the Maegashira of the Western Group. As they engage in combat within the ring, their powerful stances and determined expressions reveal their unwavering dedication to this ancient sport. The referee, Kimura Shinosuke, stands at full length with an air of authority as he closely monitors every move made by these skilled athletes. His presence adds an element of tension to this already thrilling contest. Both wrestlers display impressive physicality despite their contrasting body types. While one is portrayed as obese and fan-like in appearance, the other exhibits a more muscular build. This juxtaposition highlights the diversity within sumo wrestling and emphasizes that success in this sport is not limited to any particular physique. Through masterful brushwork and vivid colors, artist Shunsho Katsukawa brings life to each character on this print. Every detail from facial features to intricate clothing patterns has been meticulously crafted. This artwork serves as a testament to both the athleticism and artistry inherent in sumo wrestling—a tradition that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
