Sumo Wrestlers' Match
This print depicts two sumo wrestlers in the ring, with onlookers watching the competition, which is overseen by a referee of sorts. Kunisada's style is great, with wonderful musculature in the athletes. This print was introduced c1840. This later edition dates to c1880. There are a couple of old repairs to the paper on the lower left side of the print, which is actually very well executed using traditional Japanese methods of paper restoration. There is a center fold, which does not detract. This print presents beautifully. The print measures 9" x 13.5", on a black and red mat, and the frame measures 12" x 18" in black. P2087 $275
