Sumō Wrestler Ōnaruto Nadaemon of Awa Province (Ashū Ōnaruto Nadaemon)

A large-built figure stands frontally against a flat sky-blue ground, his hair drawn up in a topknot and his broad pale face set in a heavy-browed, downturned expression. He wears a grey cube-patterned kimono bound with a brown-and-gold sash, a long sword thrust through it, over which is draped an open black outer robe bearing round crests on the shoulder and sleeve; his bare hands emerge loosely from the sleeves, and brown-and-white geta sandals show beneath the hem. A red lacquered baton or case leans against his leg at lower right, with a cartouche of red and green vertical text at upper left and the publisher/artist seals stacked in red and black at lower right. The print is a color woodblock ōban by Utagawa Kuniaki II, 1860, titled Sumō Wrestler Ōnaruto Nadaemon of Awa Province (Ashū Ōnaruto Nadaemon).
