"One of Eight Views of Kanjin Sumo" is a notable woodblock print series by Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865), also known as Toyokuni III, who was a prolific and influential ukiyo-e artist in Edo period Japan. The series, created in the 19th century, is a fusion of the traditional Japanese landscape theme known as "Eight Views" with the popular subject of sumo wrestling. The term "kanjin" refers to sumo tournaments held for the purpose of fundraising, often for temple or shrine construction or repair.

In this series, Kunisada captures the essence of sumo wrestling by portraying the wrestlers in various states of action and repose, set against backdrops that evoke the classic "Eight Views" motif. These views traditionally depict idyllic landscapes and poetic interpretations of nature, such as "Evening Snow" or "Autumn Moon," which Kunisada cleverly adapts to the sumo context. Each print in the series is rich in detail and color, showcasing Kunisada's mastery of the ukiyo-e technique and his ability to blend popular culture with traditional artistic themes.

The "One of Eight Views of Kanjin Sumo" series is significant for its artistic merit and for providing a cultural snapshot of the Edo period's fascination with sumo wrestling. It also offers insight into the period's printmaking practices and the ukiyo-e genre's capacity to evolve and incorporate contemporary subjects. Kunisada's work remains an important part of Japanese art history and continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and cultural relevance.
