Colour woodblock triptych of two of the most famous sumo wrestlers of the Meiji Era.
Depicts a sumo wrestling training bout between Hitachiyama Taniemon (left) and Umenotani Otomatsu, later Umegatani Totaro II (right).
Hitachiyama (1874-1922) and Umegatani (1878-1927) were the two wrestlers most associated with the "golden age" of Meiji-era sumo wrestling.
With tate-gyoji or referee Kimura Shounosuke XVI holding a gunbai at left, and Ikazuchi stable master and yokuzuna Omegatani Totaro I (1854-1928) seated with fan at right.
Gyokuha (also known Tamanami) was a Japanese print maker who flourished in the Meiji and Taisho eras, circa 1900-1920. He was probably a studio artist for the publisher, Matsuki Heikichi, and best known for his sumo wrestler portraits.
Published January 5, Meiji 33 (1900) by Matsuki Heikichi of Yoshikawacho, Nihonbashi, Tokyo.
