Note du spécialiste

For another impression of this print see Narazaki, Muneshige, ed., Ukiyo-e Masterpieces in European Collections, Vol. 6, Musee Guimet I (Tokyo: Kodansha, 1987), pl. 127. According to Narazaki the print is believed to date from 1785-6, when Shunko began to design wrestler prints, but that Uzagafuchi was no longer komusubi (fourth highest rank) at that time.
