This fun vintage book on Sumo is bound in grey paper, with a color picture of two men wrestling on the cover. Filled with detailed illustrations and photographs of notable wrestlers, wrestling moves, and the arenas used for matches. There is some light wear to the corners and spine, but this book has been well-preserved and is in very good condition. The binding is still tight and square, with clean pages throughout. This is a terrific volume on the art of wrestling, and would be perfect for the Sumo aficionado or anybody interested in Japanese culture!
