Japanese Sumo Wrestlers Tattoos Tattooing Martial Arts Vtg. Photo 19thC.
This quality reprint of a vintage photo shows a group of five Japanese men, likely sumo wrestlers, posing in traditional mawashi loincloths. One man displays an extensive back tattoo (irezumi), and another has a tattoo on his arm. Sumo is Japan's national sport with ancient origins. While tattoos were officially discouraged during the Meiji period, they remained a significant part of certain subcultures, and this image captures a variety of athletic physiques from that era.
