"Portrait Of The Wrestler Onogawa Kisaburo And His Attendant Kusunoki" by Katsukawa Shunei is a notable example of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese woodblock prints and paintings that flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. Katsukawa Shunei, active during the late 18th century, was a prominent artist within the Katsukawa school, known for his dynamic and expressive depictions of kabuki actors and sumo wrestlers. This particular work captures the essence of the Edo period's fascination with sumo wrestling, a sport that was not only a popular form of entertainment but also a significant cultural phenomenon.

The print portrays Onogawa Kisaburo, a celebrated sumo wrestler of his time, alongside his attendant Kusunoki. Onogawa Kisaburo was renowned for his strength and skill, and his depiction in ukiyo-e prints such as this one helped to elevate his status to that of a cultural icon. Shunei's portrayal is characterized by its attention to detail and the use of bold lines and vibrant colors, which are hallmarks of the ukiyo-e style. The composition of the print emphasizes the wrestler's imposing physique and the attendant's supportive role, highlighting the hierarchical nature of their relationship.

Shunei's work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value. It provides insight into the popular culture of the Edo period and the ways in which sumo wrestlers were celebrated and idealized. The print is a testament to the skill of Katsukawa Shunei and his ability to capture the spirit of his subjects with both accuracy and artistic flair. Today, works like "Portrait Of The Wrestler Onogawa Kisaburo And His Attendant Kusunoki" are appreciated not only as art but also as valuable cultural artifacts that offer a window into Japan's rich history and traditions.
