A print from the "Scenes of Famous Places along the Tokaido" series depicting the children's sumo wrestling at Tenpōzan in Osaka — a subject Kyosai also painted as a standalone work in 1863. The Tokaido series version places the popular entertainment in the context of the famous-place genre, connecting the specific pleasure spot at the mouth of the Yodo River to the broader survey of Japanese landscape and culture that the series provided. The image captures the joyful atmosphere of children's competition before an enthusiastic crowd.
