"The Sumo Wrestler Abumatsu Rokunosuke" is a woodblock print by Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Toyokuni III, who was a prolific and influential ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period in Japan. Kunisada was renowned for his portraits of kabuki actors, beautiful women, and sumo wrestlers, which were popular subjects in ukiyo-e art, reflecting the contemporary urban culture of Edo (modern-day Tokyo).

This particular print depicts Abumatsu Rokunosuke, a sumo wrestler, in a dynamic pose that captures the energy and physicality of the sport. Sumo, a traditional Japanese sport with Shinto origins, was a common theme in ukiyo-e prints, as it was deeply interwoven with Edo-period entertainment and society. The wrestler's name and title are typically inscribed in kanji characters within the print, and the artwork may include other elements such as the wrestler's stable, ranking, or a specific sumo bout.

Kunisada's work is characterized by its vivid coloration, attention to detail, and the expressive faces of its subjects. His prints were created through a collaborative process involving a publisher, artist, carver, and printer, which was the standard method of production for ukiyo-e prints. "The Sumo Wrestler Abumatsu Rokunosuke" would have been produced in this manner, with each print being part of a larger series or set, as was common for Kunisada's works.

As a significant figure in the world of Japanese woodblock printing, Kunisada's portrayal of Abumatsu Rokunosuke is an important example of the genre's intersection with the popular culture of the time. The print not only serves as a historical record of the sumo wrestler but also as an artifact of the rich visual culture that flourished in Edo-period Japan. The artwork is likely to be held in museum collections, private collections, or institutions that specialize in Asian art and ukiyo-e prints, contributing to the understanding and appreciation of this unique art form.
