"From The Series Shikido Torikumi Juniban" is a notable work by Isoda Koryusai, a prominent Japanese ukiyo-e artist active during the Edo period. Koryusai, originally a samurai, transitioned to the arts, particularly excelling in the creation of woodblock prints and paintings. His work spans a variety of ukiyo-e genres, including bijinga (pictures of beautiful women), shunga (erotic art), and kachō-e (bird-and-flower paintings). However, he is perhaps best recognized for his innovative contributions to the genre of yakusha-e (actor prints) and sumo-e (sumo prints), with "From The Series Shikido Torikumi Juniban" falling into the latter category.

The series title, "Shikido Torikumi Juniban," can be translated as "Twelve Matches of the Shikido," with "Shikido" referring to a classification or ranking in the context of sumo wrestling. Each print in the series likely depicted a specific match or moment of sumo wrestling, capturing the dynamic movements and expressions of the wrestlers, as well as the atmosphere of the bout. Koryusai's work is characterized by its delicate lines, attention to detail, and the ability to convey movement and emotion, qualities that would have been well-suited to depicting the intense and dramatic nature of sumo wrestling.

"From The Series Shikido Torikumi Juniban" represents an important contribution to the sumo-e genre, offering insights into the cultural significance of sumo wrestling in Edo-period Japan, as well as the artistic techniques and styles of the time. Koryusai's work not only provides a visual record of the sport but also reflects the broader societal interest in sumo and the arts during his lifetime. Through his prints, Koryusai contributed to the popularization and appreciation of sumo wrestling as a subject of ukiyo-e art, enriching the genre with his unique perspective and artistic skills.
