A woodblock print depicting three large, muscular men with dark hair in traditional sumo wrestling attire. The central figure wears a white and purple loincloth with a fringed bottom, facing forward with a neutral expression. He has a large belly and stands on one leg. Two men flank him, both shirtless and wearing traditional sumo loincloths. The man on the left appears focused, while the man on the right looks to the left. A red and white pole and sheathed sword are behind them. The background features a blue upper section with two vertical orange rectangles containing black Japanese characters, and a beige lower section.
