About this print
The wrestler fills the sheet from top to bottom, leaning into the step with his arms loose, the heavy embroidered apron worn for the ring-entering ceremony hanging in front of him and his name brushed boldly down the left side. Katsukawa Shuntei made the portrait of Hiodoshi Katsugoro between 1811 and 1814, when prints of star wrestlers sold much as sports cards do now. It is a full colour woodblock print on paper, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art holds this impression and releases it into the public domain. It gives an office or den a generous dose of personality. Printed to order at gallery scale in its own fixed palette.
