From the heart of Asakusa this powerful painting depicts a sumo wrestler in the midst of the time-honored ritual of throwing salt, symbolizing purification and the call for good fortune before the battles ahead. His strong, commanding presence contrasts with the delicate cascade of salt, capturing the intense focus and deep tradition behind the ceremonial gesture. Every muscle and movement reflects strength, discipline, and respect for this most sacred of sports and way of life.
This original artwork is a tribute to the ancient rituals of sumo, perfect for those who admire the balance of power and spirituality in Japan’s most revered form of competition.
The ink mixed for this artwork was created with incense soot from the Dohyo mixed with the Chanko-nabe broth that sustains these titanic individuals.
