EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "One of eight views of Kanjin Sumo" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in the rich cultural heritage of Japan. Created by Kunisada Utagawa (Toyokuni III), a renowned artist from that era, this triptych oban size color woodblock print measures 38x26 cm and is now part of a private collection. The artwork showcases the traditional Japanese sport of sumo wrestling, specifically focusing on the Kanjin Sumo event. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to each figure depicted in action. The composition skillfully captures the intensity and power displayed by these mighty wrestlers as they engage in their ancient ritual. Published by Tsutaya, a prominent publisher at that time, this piece represents one among eight views dedicated to Kanjin Sumo. It serves as a testament to both the popularity and significance of this sport within Japanese culture during that period. Now housed at eDreweatt Neate Fine Art Auctioneers in Newbury, Berks, UK, this remarkable artwork continues to captivate viewers with its historical charm. As we admire it today, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its ability to transport us through time into an era where tradition and athleticism intertwined seamlessly.
