EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous gathering of sumo wrestlers and geishas, immersed in the joyous atmosphere of a festive meal. The central figure is Sakaigawa Namiemon, an esteemed sumo wrestler, positioned to the left with his robust physique commanding attention. Surrounding him are other formidable wrestlers, their imposing presence adding to the intensity of the scene. The vibrant colours and intricate details of this 19th-century Japanese woodcut by Kuniteru Utagawa transport us to a time when tradition and culture thrived. The artist's skillful rendering brings forth every nuance of expression on each character's face, revealing their dedication to both wrestling as a combat sport and maintaining their cultural heritage. Intriguingly, amidst this display of strength and power, we see delicate geishas gracefully participating in the festivities. Their elegant kimonos adorned with exquisite patterns complement the boldness exuded by the wrestlers. This harmonious coexistence between two distinct worlds showcases Japan's unique ability to blend tradition with modernity. As our eyes wander through this masterpiece, we cannot help but be captivated by every element present – from Chinese calligraphy adorning scrolls in the background to tantalizing dishes that adorn tables before them. It is evident that this celebration encapsulates not only physical prowess but also an appreciation for fine cuisine and camaraderie. This print serves as a testament to Japan's rich folklore and its enduring love for sportsmanship. It invites us into
