EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the portrait of the renowned sumo wrestler Kotozan, adorned in a striking apron known as kesho-mawashi. Created by the talented artist Shunsho, this colour woodcut masterpiece dates back to approximately 1775. The image captures the essence of wrestling as a combat sport and martial art, highlighting the strength and power exuded by Kotozan. The intricate details of his traditional costume and meticulously tied apron reflect both the artistry involved in sumo wrestling and its deep-rooted cultural significance. In addition to his physical prowess, Kotozan's intellectual side is also revealed through his connection with writing and calligraphy. Chinese characters are delicately inscribed on his portrait, symbolizing wisdom and knowledge within Japanese culture. Transporting us back to the 18th century, this artwork not only celebrates Japan's rich artistic heritage but also pays homage to its traditions and folklore. It serves as a reminder of how sport can be intertwined with artistry, tradition, and culture. With Asia as its backdrop, this Japanese print encapsulates an era where wrestlers like Kotozan were revered for their athletic abilities while embodying Asian ethnicity. This remarkable piece from a private collection evokes admiration for both fine arts enthusiasts and those fascinated by ancient sporting traditions alike.
