This exquisite woodblock print, dating back to the late 16th century from Japan, showcases a series of captivating scenes related to the esteemed Soga family and the world of Sumo wrestling.

They were also patrons of the Sumo sport and were deeply involved in its administration. The print begins with a scene of the Soga brothers in traditional Sumo attire, standing proudly in the center, surrounded by a throng of onlookers.
