EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Kawazu Saburo Sukemichi against Matano Goro Kagehisa" takes us back to the Edo period in Japan. The image is part of the series Illustrated Tale of the Soga Brothers, created between 1843 and 1847 by Utagawa Hiroshige, a renowned Japanese artist. In this woodcut, we witness a thrilling wrestling match between two formidable athletes. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to this genre scene, showcasing the physical prowess and power of these young men. Their muscular bodies are a testament to their dedication to physical culture and athleticism. The Soga monogatari zue series delves into folklore and tradition, narrating tales from Japanese history. This particular print captures a moment filled with anticipation as Kawazu Saburo Sukemichi confronts his opponent Matano Goro Kagehisa in an intense battle of strength. As we admire this fine art piece from Asia's Far East, it reminds us of the importance placed on sports and leisure during that era. It serves as a window into historical pastimes enjoyed by people during their free time. This print not only showcases Hiroshige's artistic talent but also highlights the significance of sportsmanship and competition in Japanese culture.
