Tokoyuni III Kunisada Japanese Woodblock Print Sumo Match Shiranui vs Jimmaku

About the Item

A beautifully composed and richly colored woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Tokoyuni III (AKA Utagawa Kunisada 1786-1864) titled "Shiranui vs Jimmaku" features a match between two fierce Sumo wrestlers with referee Shikimori Yojin (to the left) with the seated referee Hidenoyama (to the right) - both colorfully clad in traditional clothing (Mawashi). The excitement and intensity is palpable. This is a later printing of an original triptych work done in the mid-1800s by Tokoyuni III. From an impressive collection of Japanese artworks and prints (of which we will be listing other prints). Would be a great addition to any Japanese art or print collection or an eye-catching stand-alone accent piece once framed. Mat dimensions: 13.75" high, 19" wide Print: 8.5" x 17.25"
