EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created in 1817 by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives of sumo wrestlers during the Edo period. In this artwork titled "Seven Sumo Wrestlers Going About Their Business" we are transported to a traditional bathhouse in Japan. The scene depicts seven robust and imposing wrestlers engaged in their domestic routine. With their impressive physiques and distinctive topknots, these men exude strength and power. As they carry buckets filled with water, they prepare for their ritualistic cleansing before entering the bath tub. Hokusai's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. From the delicate folds of their garments to the intricate patterns adorning the walls, each element adds depth and authenticity to this snapshot of early 19th-century Japanese life. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this woodblock print also sheds light on cultural practices surrounding hygiene and self-care during that time period. The emphasis on cleanliness is palpable as these athletes meticulously wash themselves using wooden pails while being fanned by attendants nearby. Overall, Hokusai masterfully captures both the physicality and tranquility inherent in sumo wrestling through his skillful use of line work and vibrant colors. This artwork serves as a testament to his artistic prowess as well as an invaluable historical document showcasing an important facet of Japanese culture from over two centuries ago.
