Sumo Folding Fan Ring Entering Ceremony by Ibasen features an authentic Ukiyo-e-printed design depicting the ceremonial ring-entering ritual of sumo wrestlers. The composition reflects the visual language of Edo-period woodblock prints, where scenes of theater, daily life, and sumo were documented with bold linework and carefully structured color.

The wrestlers stand in formal procession within the dohyo, accompanied by attendants, capturing the solemnity and controlled power of the ceremony. The curved arc of the fan enhances the sense of movement, echoing the circular form of the ring itself while allowing the printed details to unfold gradually as the fan opens.

Crafted within Ibasen’s long established Edo fan making tradition, the piece balances historical print culture with refined construction. It comes with a dedicated display stand, allowing it to function as both a usable fan and a collectible art object.

Rooted in Ukiyo-e printing and cultural heritage, this folding fan preserves a historic visual tradition in a form designed for both display and use.
