Most of the impressionists and their associated artists were interested in Japanese art, particularly in Hokusai's work, and he painted sumo wrestlers. Manet possessed a woodcut of a sumo wrestler, which can be seen in the background of his portrait of Zola below. The interest was two-way. Japanese artists started experimenting with perspective through their interest in Western art. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 24,297 Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) You might wonder what this has to do with sumo - but even more about what the person thought that fabricated the English title: Mountains and Seas Viewed as Wrestlers in a Sumo Tournament (acceptable would be: sumo styled mountain and sea views) I'd settle for: Mountains and Sea seen as Sumo (scene) 山海見立相撲 Sankai Mitate Sumo - this one is 備前田ノ口 Bizen-Tanokuchi the collection of all 20 pics of the series of Hiroshige: http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/search.aspx?searchText=Sankai+Mitate+Sumo&people=55588 And what is the sumo style view here ? The title is displayed on a gyoji gumbai frame (on the left upper corner) http://ch.kanagawa-museum.jp/dm/ukiyoe/kanagawa/meisyo/d_meisyo15.html We might see it as a joke from Hiroshige about a sumo frenzy: one can see sumo in everything - or is there some deeper truth in it ?

Akinomaki 24,297 Posted January 22 Not the usual sumo art - but I very much like her calligraphy design. This shows why I add "rikishi" to my daily news search, not just do plain "sumo". For those articles it is always the challenge to find out if they have something to do with sumo - and what it is. Calligraphy artist Suibi 萃美 from Obihiro, Hokkaido - I found nothing on her on the net except on the Hokkaido news links - had designed a company logo for Takashima Concrete Industries in Memuro http://www.takashimaconcrete.com/concept1.html The sumo connection: the founder of the company is a former rikishi - unfortunately the DB is not very detailed for the time: it was founded in 1955 - most of those from Hokkaido who retired then or shortly before have no detailed shusshin or real name data. http://www.hokkaido-nl.jp/article/9784 the pic in the paper has a better quality of the logo than the logo on the company site - bottom right the Taka 高 looks at first a bit like the Takashima-ya department store Taka - but it appears as a yokozuna dohyo-iri style rikishi 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
