Comments - Handsome scene of sumo wrestlers in the ring, ready to start a match. The wrestler at right crouches with one hand tucked under his armpit, while his smaller opponent turns slightly towards him. At right, the referee holds his fan, and an older man sits on a cushion at left, watching the referee closely. A great image from this ancient Japanese sport.
