Now in protective archival film. Hardback in clean and neat green cloth with just a touch of bumping. Book is in good clean condition throughout.

Now in protective archival film. Hardback in clean and neat green cloth with just a touch of bumping. Book is in good clean condition throughout. What is interesting about this copy, is that there is a gift inscription to the verso of the half title, stating that the book was taken from the Iranian Embassy shortly after the SAS had ended the embassy siege in 1980. The annotation claims that it was taken from the embassy an hour after the siege, but apart from this seeming unlikely (with security concerns at the time) the date given is actually 3 weeks after the end of the siege. There is no evidence that this is true but a strange thing to make up and we offer it as an interesting oddity! 414 pages. 220 by 150mm (8¾ by 6 inches).

    . Première édition sous couverture anti-poussière. L'emballage est propre, avec une touche d'entaille et d'usure des bords et avec une déchirure fermée de 1 cm à la tête de la colonne vertébrale. Maintenant dans un film d'archives protecteur. Couverture cartonnée en toile verte propre et soignée avec juste une touche de bosse. Le livre est en bon état de propreté partout. Ce qui est intéressant à propos de cet exemplaire, c'est qu'il y a une inscription cadeau au verso du faux titre, indiquant que le livre a été pris à l'ambassade d'Iran peu de temps après que le SAS eut mis fin au siège de l'ambassade en 1980. L'annotation prétend qu'il a été prise de l'ambassade une heure après le siège, mais à part cela qui semble peu probable (avec des problèmes de sécurité à l'époque), la date indiquée est en fait 3 semaines après la fin du siège. Il n'y a aucune preuve que cela soit vrai mais une chose étrange à inventer et nous l'offrons comme une bizarrerie intéressante ! 414 pages. 220 par 150 mm

    KUNISADA, Utagawa (Toyokuni III)
    A school for Sumo wrestlers

    Tokyo: Wakasaya Yoichi (若狹屋与市), C1843. First edition. A lovely copy of this rare woodblock print. Believed to by by Utagama Kunisada circa 1843. The print, in bright colours, shows a group of seven sumo masters looking down on a group of wrestlers fighting. There are also two clothed Sumo masters standing amongst the students. There are 20 students. The teachers have names in labels by each of them, and they are clearly recognisable characters. The work bears the publisher's seal of Wakasaya Yoichi, an eminent Tokyo publisher, who printed many famous artists. This is part of the reason for our attribution, as Kunisada often portrayed both individual wrestlers, and groups of sumo wrestlers and wrestling schools. He also regularly…

There are 20 students. The teachers have names in labels by each of them, and they are clearly recognisable characters. The work bears the publisher's seal of Wakasaya Yoichi, an eminent Tokyo publisher, who printed many famous artists. This is part of the reason for our attribution, as Kunisada often portrayed both individual wrestlers, and groups of sumo wrestlers and wrestling schools. He also regularly published with Wakasaya Yoichi. A excelent example, there is a light crease to the bottom part of the print (which could probably be ironed out). The edges have fractional nicking, but overall is in very nice condition. 37cm x 25cm. A rare piece. We cannot find another example of this particular woodblock print.

    . Première édition. Un bel exemplaire de cette rare gravure sur bois. On pense qu'elle a été réalisée par Utagama Kunisada vers 1843. L'estampe, aux couleurs vives, montre un groupe de sept maîtres de sumo regardant de haut un groupe de lutteurs en train de se battre. Deux maîtres de sumo vêtus se tiennent également au milieu des élèves. Les élèves sont au nombre de 20. Les professeurs portent des noms dans des étiquettes à côté de chacun d'eux, et ce sont des personnages clairement reconnaissables. L'œuvre porte le sceau de l'éditeur Wakasaya Yoichi, un éminent éditeur de Tokyo qui a imprimé de nombreux artistes célèbres. C'est en partie la raison de notre attribution, car Kunisada a souvent représenté des lutteurs individuels, des groupes de lutteurs de sumo et des écoles de lutte. Il a également publié régulièrement avec Wakasaya Yoichi. Un excellent exemple, il y a un léger pli sur la partie inférieure de l'impression (qui pourrait probablement être repassé). Les bords sont légèrement entaillés, mais l'ensemble est en très bon état. 37cm x 25cm. Une pièce rare. Nous n'avons pas trouvé d'autre exemple de cette gravure sur bois.
