EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Konishiki Yasokichi, 1898" is a remarkable portrait of the legendary Japanese sumo wrestler Konishiki Yasokichi I. Created by Christian Wilhelm Allers for his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), this print beautifully captures the strength and charisma of this iconic sportsman. Konishiki Yasokichi I was born in 1866 as Saleva a Fuauli Atisano e but adopted Konishiki's name to honor him. Hailing from Hawaii with Japanese-Samoan heritage, he became one of the most prominent figures in sumo wrestling history. This image showcases his imposing figure and powerful presence that made him a force to be reckoned with in the ring. Allers' artistic talent shines through in this lithograph as he masterfully portrays every detail of Konishiki's physique and expression. The intensity in his eyes reflects both determination and respect for his craft. It is evident that Allers truly captured the essence of this extraordinary athlete. This print not only celebrates an exceptional sportsman but also serves as a testament to cultural exchange between Japan, Hawaii, and Samoa during the late 19th century. Through its historical significance and artistic brilliance, this artwork continues to inspire admiration for both Konishiki Yasokichi I and Christian Wilhelm Allers' talent even today.
