Should we start a thread about cartoon of the rikishi in the ozumo section?

While being a big fan of the AsaChan ozumo corner, I completely missed the chances to get the free badges (and fans) they distribute each basho at the TBS broadcast booth. Mania fans like MyYetSetLife likely have complete sets

the recent set was this, yokozuna with attendants

I post the rest as overview, first recent designs of a character, then older ones

2017 Aki Basho's series

Nara is really keen to produce special goods for the Kashiba jungyo: a special stamp frame to show that Nara is the place where sumo originated http://www.sankei.com/west/news/171005/wst1710050025-n1.html

What did inspire this from Degas (and makes it sumo art related)?

Spoiler

a Hokusai manga (from no.11) showing a rikishi

from an article about the Van Gogh foundation exhibition in Tokyo showing Western art influenced by Japanese art

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.

So many fun & great pictures in jungyo-thread... so, I wanted warm up my old hobby. A bit rusty amateur style, first try...

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 ?
