For your consideration is a. Vintage Japanese Woodblock Print, Hand Colored Sumo Wrestler, Named Artist, Syunsen. The Romanization of his given name varies and at the suggestion of Maribeth Graybill, The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Asian Art at the Portland Art Museum, I have used Harunobu???? , which is how the website of the Chiba City Museum of Art shows his name. Other Romanizations of his name include Hishikawa Syunsen, Hishikawa Shunsen and Hishikawa Harusen. The artist worked for several publishers including Matsuki Heikichi, the publisher of this collection’s print, Table of Contents for the series Instructive Models of Lofty Ambition. He designed at least one sumo print for Heikichi. I have tried to describe this item to the best of my ability. Further, I trust and rely on thoughtful questions from perspective buyers, collectors, and experts. This item is in the category “Antiques\Asian Antiques\Japan\Prints”. The seller is “azpitt” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
