KATSUSHIKA HOKUSAI. The Sumo Wrestlers Takaneyama Yoichiemon and Sendagawa Kichigoro

The Sumo Wrestlers Takaneyama Yoichiemon and Sendagawa Kichigoro. Artist: Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese, Tokyo (Edo) 1760-1849 Tokyo (Edo)). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: H. 12 1/3 ( 30.6 cm; W. 5 3/32 in. (12.9 cm). Date: ca. 1790-93.
Hokusai occasionally treated the sumo world in his prints. He returned to the subject briefly in the early 1790s after a decade-long absence. Here, the sumo wrestlers Wadagahara Jinshiro on the right and Kachozan Gorokichi on the left are locked together during a fight. They are depicted with thinner, more refined lines than in the artist's early sumo prints. The signature Shunro ga ("painted by Shunro") is one he used for a period before choosing his most familiar name, Hokusai.
