Comments - Terrific portrait of sumo wrestler Unryu Kyukichi, who achieved the sport's highest rank of yokozuna. He wears a gray and blue checked coat over a brown brocade kimono tied with an orange and yellow print obi. He has two swords tucked at his side, and carries a blue cloth in one hand. His bulky frame fills the page, and his unshaven face is shadowed in gray. A handsome design, nicely colored and detailed. A fine subject for a sumo enthusiast.
