Even at his death from influenza at age 44, he was dominating the ring and was one of the first to be given sumo’s highest rank, yokozuna (横綱), during his lifetime. In this print, Katsukawa Shunshō showed him as he may have appeared strolling the avenue, spied by his fans. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS Hollis, Howard C. “The Edward Loder Whittemore Collection of Japanese Prints.” The Bulletin of the Cleveland Museum of Art 17, no. 4 (April 1930): 64–66. page number: url: https://www.jstor.org/stable/25137291 --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1930.209/1930.209_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1930.209/1930.209_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1930.209/1930.209_full.tif
