EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Sumo Wrestlers of the Western Group: Kashiwado Kandayu from Edo (right) and Inagawa Masaemon from Osaka (left)" is a stunning example of Japanese art from the 18th century. Created by the renowned artist Shunsho, this oban-sized print showcases two sumo wrestlers in their semi-dressed attire, embodying the raw power and masculinity of the sport. On the right, we have Kashiwado Kandayu from Edo, his muscular chest and broad shoulders emphasized by the contrasting colors of the print. His mawashi, or loincloth, is tied in a complex knot, a metaphor for his strength and determination. The intricate calligraphy at the bottom of the print identifies him as a wrestler from the Katsukawa School. On the left, Inagawa Masaemon from Osaka is depicted with a similar physique and attire. His loincloth is tied in a different style, reflecting regional differences in sumo traditions. The artist, Shunsho, expertly captures the unique personality of each wrestler, making this print a fascinating glimpse into the past. The vivid colors and intricate details of the print are a testament to the artistic skill of Shunsho, who was a leading figure in the Katsukawa School during the Edo period. This print is not only a valuable piece of Asian art but also a window into the rich cultural heritage of Japan.
