EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a traditional Japanese board game called "Jeu de sugoroku" which features a beautifully decorated playing board adorned with sumo wrestlers and scenes of intense combat. Created by Utagawa Kunisada II, an esteemed artist from the late 19th century, this colour woodcut masterpiece measures an impressive 72.5x71 cm. The image transports us to ancient Japan, immersing us in its rich culture and traditions. The intricate details captured in this artwork highlight the essence of fight and wrestling as integral parts of Japanese folklore and sport. The sumo wrestlers depicted exude strength and power, while the referee adds an element of authority to the scene. In addition to the visual elements, there is also a touch of calligraphy present in this print, adding another layer of artistic expression. Chinese writing can be seen delicately incorporated into the overall composition. This photograph not only serves as a window into Japan's past but also represents martial arts as both a combat sport and a form of cultural heritage. It encapsulates the fusion between tradition and modernity by being created during Utagawa Kunisada II's time yet still resonating with audiences today. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this extraordinary piece from their private collection, allowing viewers worldwide to appreciate its beauty and significance without commercial intentions or implications.
