"From the Series Shikido Torikumi Juniban" is a notable work by Isoda Koryusai, an influential Japanese ukiyo-e artist active during the Edo period. Koryusai, originally a samurai, became one of the early adopters of the full-color print technique, nishiki-e, and was a contemporary of more famous artists like Harunobu. The series title translates to "The Twelve Bouts of the Poetic Immortals," and it is a collection of woodblock prints that combines the themes of poetry and wrestling.

The series is a unique fusion of the elegant world of waka poetry and the physical vigor of sumo wrestling, with each print depicting a wrestler in combat with a visual representation of one of the Rokkasen—the Six Poetic Immortals of the early Heian period. These poets were renowned for their exceptional contributions to the waka form of poetry, which was a precursor to the later haiku. Koryusai's work is characterized by its dynamic compositions, attention to detail, and the innovative use of color that was emerging in ukiyo-e prints of the time.

"From the Series Shikido Torikumi Juniban" is significant for its artistic merit and for providing insight into the cultural interests of the Edo period, blending the popular entertainment of sumo with the refined cultural pursuit of poetry. Koryusai's prints are considered important for their contribution to the development of the ukiyo-e genre, particularly in the portrayal of subjects beyond the courtesans and kabuki actors that dominated the field.

The series exemplifies Koryusai's skill in capturing movement and emotion, as well as his ability to convey complex cultural concepts through the medium of woodblock prints. While the complete series and its individual prints are held in various museum collections and have been studied by scholars of Japanese art, they also remain accessible to a wider audience as quintessential examples of Edo-period ukiyo-e.
