EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary Sumo Wrestler Tsunenoyama Gorokichi, taken in 1843. Hailing from Japan during the Edo period, this fine art image captures not only his immense physical power but also reflects the deep-rooted tradition and cultural significance of sumo wrestling. Tsunenoyama's robust physique is beautifully depicted through this colour woodcut, highlighting his dedication to bodybuilding and physical culture. As an esteemed athlete in Asian sports history, he embodies strength and athleticism that have been revered for centuries. The genre scene captured here offers a glimpse into Tsunenoyama's free time as he indulges in his passion for sumo wrestling. This portrayal pays homage to Japanese folklore and traditions surrounding this ancient sport. Kunisada Toyokuni III, a renowned artist of the era (1786-1865), skillfully brings out every detail of Tsunenoyama's portrait with great finesse. The artist's expertise shines through as he masterfully captures both the essence of youthfulness and maturity within this powerful wrestler. This rare piece from a private collection serves as a testament to the rich heritage of Japanese art while celebrating one man's dedication to his craft. It invites us to appreciate not only Tsunenoyama Gorokichi himself but also the profound influence that sports like sumo wrestling have had on society throughout history.
