Description : The 62nd Grand Champion "Yokozuna" sumo wrestler Onokuni. He was nicknamed "Panda" for his large girth and gentle disposition out of the ring. After some 80 years of absence, the Japan Sumo Association commissioned the making of traditional nishiki-e style woodblock printing to publisher Kyoto Hanga-in, artist Daimon, carver Kishima and printer Ito in 1985. These new Sumo Nishiki-e are sold in Ryogoku Kokugi-kan in Tokyo.
