EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken in 1895, features Professor Burton and Ozutsu Manemon, also known as Taiho, the 18th Yokozuna or Grand Champion of Sumo Wrestling in Japan. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the esteemed wrestler in a quiet moment, surrounded by the tranquility of a Japanese garden. Professor Burton, an American academic and photographer, is seen standing to the side, observing Ozutsu Manemon with a lantern in hand. The professor's formal attire and serious expression contrast sharply with the sumo wrestler's traditional Japanese garb and relaxed posture. The image offers a unique glimpse into the intersection of Western and Eastern cultures during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Ozutsu Manemon, born in 1860, began his sumo career in 1875 and held the prestigious title of Yokozuna for the first time in 1893. He retired in 1900, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most successful sumo wrestlers in history. The photograph, taken by renowned Japanese photographers Ogawa Kazumasa, Jukichi Inouye, or possibly William Kinnimond of the Photographic Society, is a testament to the rich history of sumo wrestling and the cultural exchange that took place between Japan and the West during this period. The use of natural lighting and the serene setting further enhance the image's timeless appeal, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs.
