EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This print showcases the remarkable Sumo wrestler Kidomaru during his early years at the tender age of 11, captured in the 1880s. The image, part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the world of traditional Japanese sports and athleticism. Kidomaru's youthful yet powerful physique is beautifully portrayed through this fine art colour woodcut from the Edo period. The artwork, created by Kuniaki II Utagawa (1835-1888), exemplifies his mastery in capturing genre scenes and folklore within Japanese art. Sumo wrestling holds deep cultural significance in Japan, representing not only physical strength but also tradition and discipline. This portrait reveals Kidomaru's dedication to his craft as he embodies both grace and power. The photograph invites us to reflect on the importance of physical culture and health during this era. It serves as a testament to the commitment that athletes like Kidomaru had towards their sport even at such a young age. Through this rare glimpse into history, we are reminded of how sports can transcend time and place while connecting us with our shared human experiences. This image stands as an enduring tribute to Kidomaru's legacy as a young sumo wrestler who embodied determination, skill, and respect for tradition.
