EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense wrestling match between two legendary athletes, Kimenzan Tanigoro and Edogasaki Gemji. Created by Shunsho Katsukawa, a renowned artist from the 18th century, this colour woodblock print showcases his exceptional talent in capturing movement and emotion. The wrestlers are depicted in their traditional costumes, displaying their immense strength and skill. The referee stands tall in the background, overseeing every move with precision. Both athletes exude power and determination as they engage in a fierce battle for victory. One cannot help but notice the unique physicality of these wrestlers. While one may describe them as overweight or obese by societal standards, it is important to recognize that sumo wrestling celebrates body diversity and embraces different forms of athleticism.

Every muscle strain and hold is beautifully portrayed, showcasing both gracefulness and raw power simultaneously. This print serves as a testament to the rich history of sumo wrestling as well as an appreciation for artistry itself.
