This ukiyo-e woodblock print by Utagawa Kunisada depicts Kagamiiwa Hamanosuke, a famous sumo wrestler. Kunisada (1786–1865), also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III, was a renowned artist known for his detailed and expressive depictions of kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, and other popular figures. In this print, the wrestler's powerful physique, traditional attire, and resolute expression capture the essence of this ancient Japanese sport. The artist's use of bold lines and vibrant colors contribute to the dynamism and energy of the image.
