A woodblock print by Ogata Gekko depicting a sumo wrestling match. The print captures a moment of intense physical exertion and competition.
Ogata Gekko (1859-1920) was a Japanese artist of the Meiji period, known for his illustrations of historical events, customs, and daily life. He worked in a variety of formats, including prints, book illustrations, and paintings. Gekko's style blends traditional Ukiyo-e techniques with modern influences, reflecting the transitional period in Japanese art. His work often displays a keen observation of human behaviour and a talent for capturing dynamic movement. This woodblock print depicts a sumo wrestling match. One wrestler hoists his opponent into the air, while spectators watch from above. The composition is simple, with a focus on the figures and their interaction. The wrestlers are rendered with careful attention to anatomy and musculature. The print employs a limited colour palette, typical of Ukiyo-e, with soft tones of peach, brown, and black. Small details, such as the wrestlers' hair and clothing, are rendered with precision. The print captures a moment of intense physical exertion and competition.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
