Yokozuna Hakuho XIII

Works on sale at the photo exhibition "Yokozuna Hakuho" by Hidemi Ogata, a photographer who has been photographing legendary icons such as musicians and artists for over 30 years.

A scene before the 14th day of the 2010 Summer Sumo Tournament. The mawashi, which had previously been brown, was changed to a golden color on this day. It is unusual for the mawashi to change in the middle of a place. The day before, he won his 14th championship, tying the record held by former yokozuna Wajima, who Hakuho admired. It was dedicated to the golden mawashi that symbolizes Wajima Seki.
