Large Format Photo of Sumo Wrestlers Hand-coloured albumen print
[Japan] Interesting photo showing two sumō wrestlers performing in their keshō mawashi (ceremonial silk belt) with two other wrestlers and an assistant looking on. One wonders if this photo may have been taken in a sumō stable where the wrestlers would live and practice.
Photographer unknown. c1890. 26 x 23cm.
In very good condition. Slight loss of contrast although this may be from the time the photo was taken. Mounted on card. p35101482
