EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L'école de lutte sumo Takasago Beya" showcases the rich tradition and culture of Japan. Created by Utagawa Kuniaki II in 1876, this colourful woodcut transports us to the world of sumo wrestling, a combat sport deeply rooted in Japanese history. The image depicts several people engaged in intense training at the Takasago Beya Sumo School. Apprentices diligently learn the art of sumo wrestling under the watchful eye of their master. The atmosphere is filled with energy as these men exercise their bodies and hone their skills. Amidst this scene, we see elements that reflect traditional Japanese customs. Calligraphy adorns the walls, symbolizing discipline and focus. Chinese writing further adds to the cultural richness portrayed in this artwork. The presence of an audience suggests that this practice session may also serve as a performance for spectators who appreciate both athleticism and folklore associated with sumo wrestling. A referee stands ready to officiate any matches or provide guidance when necessary. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a visual reminder of Japan's enduring martial arts heritage. It invites viewers to delve into its vibrant history while appreciating the dedication and skill required within this ancient form of combat sport.
