Sumo Wrestling I Sumo Wrestling StadiumJapanese woodblock print from ca. 1890-1900 by unknown artist.
Japanese Sumo Wrestling is one of the oldest
martial arts in Japan. Sumo wrestlers were a favorite
subject on Japanese woodblock prints.
In contrast to some of the
traditional Japanese art forms like kabuki,
which has a heavy stand in today's world, sumo wrestling is
enjoying a rising popularity - comparable to basketball in
North America or soccer in Europe.
History of Japanese Sumo Wrestling
Sumo Wrestling II Champion Sumo Wrestler WajimaWoodblock print by Junichiro Sekino 1914-1988
Sumo has its roots in the shinto religion. The
matches were dedicated to the gods in prayers for a
good harvest.
The oldest written records date back to
the 8th century. But it is probably more than 1500 years
old.
Sumo prints from the 18th and 19th century prove the
popularity of the sport in the past.
During the last two decades the art of
sumo wrestling could establish itself even outside of Japan.
Akebono, an American born in Hawaii, became the first
American champion to reach the highest rank.
The Rules of the Game
A sumo wrestling match is accompanied by a lot of
traditional ceremony. The marching-in of the wrestlers
is a sequence of formal rituals. The wrestlers are accompanied
by two assistants - one walking in front and one behind him
- the one behind is usually hard to spot.
The referee is clad in a luxurious kimono and wears a strange
hat. After performing a series of opening rituals, the contest
begins.
The wrestling match is all about pushing or throwing the
opponent out of the doyo - the ring - or to bring the
other guy down on the floor.
Sumo does not know any weight categories. There are
a few basic techniques - from pulling the opponents legs to
grabbing his belt and trying to throw or carry the opponent
out of the ring.

Sumo in Ukiyo-e (Japanese Prints)
Sumo Wrestling IV Sumo Yumitori no zuWoodblock print by Kuniaki II Utagawa 1835-1888
Among the Japanese woodblock print artists are few that
made no prints with subjects of sumo wrestlers.
Ukiyo-e was a commercial art and was meant to sell.
In the 18th and 19th century it was more the publisher
who decided about the subjects than the artist. He
gave the commissions, risked his money and therefore
tended to publish popular themes.
A few artists should be mentioned for
frequent or outstanding (Junichiro Sekino) sumo prints.
Kunisada Utagawa 1786-1864
Kuniyoshi Utagawa 1797-1861
Kuniaki II Utagawa 1835-1888
Kunisada II Utagawa 1823-1880
Hironobu Kinoshita active ca. 1851-72
Junichiro Sekino 1914-1988
