Sumo Wrestler Tossing a Foreigner by Utagawa Yoshiiku: A large, muscular man wearing a red mawashi loincloth tosses a smaller man wearing a blue uniform with gold epaulets and black shoes. The smaller man has one leg raised and his body stretched out horizontally. He appears to be thrown toward the bottom right corner. The background includes a body of water with a ship in the distance and low-lying land on the horizon. A yellow sun sets or rises in the background. Vertical, mostly Japanese text appears on a red background in the top left corner and on a narrow red rectangle on the left side. Other Japanese text appears on the right side and bottom left.
