This museum is surrounded by the lush greenery and clear waters of Nakanoshima

Founded in November 1982, the Museum was established by Osaka City, commemorating the donation of the world-renowned Ataka Collection by the twenty-one companies of the Sumitomo Group. But it is closed for a long time

I’m gonna to introduce this artwork

Named TWO FIGURINES OF SUMO WRESTLERS

weight 23.0,25.4 height 30.6and31.3cm

is known for its distinctive elegant overglaze decoration effectly leaving space to show the glossy milky white body color

This artwork exported to Europe, held sway over the people there.

Examples similar to this piece have been found in the palace of England,

Analysis:

Hair : They have two different traditional Japanese hairstyle

Emotion: One expression is slightly relaxed and the other one scrunch his face . But i think this two guys showed great in this competition.

Feeling:

The vivid expressions and vigorous gestures of the two sumo wrestlers .They pull my emotions into the competition between them.

To me This is the most attractive work in the museum
