The work depicts a scene set during the opening of Yokohama Port in the late Edo period, featuring a sumo match between a Japanese wrestler and a Westerner. The wrestler dynamicly throwing the foreigner is expressed alongside a design styled after a sumo ranking list. The piece skillfully reflects the public interest in foreigners and the anti-foreign sentiments during a period of turbulent opening to the West. Shopping Guide & Information
