The Sumo ukiyo-e prints had not been published for a long time since 1908. This work is a limited edition sumo ukiyo-e print that was finally published again in the 1980s after a long hiatus. Konishiki Yasokichi (小錦八十吉 Ⅵ) Saleva'a Fuauli Atisano'e (b 1963), better known by his stage name, Konishiki Yasokichi (小錦八十吉, Konishiki Yasokichi Ⅵ), is an American professional sumo wrestler. He was the first non-Japanese-born wrestler to reach ōzeki, the second-highest possible rank in the sport. During his career he won the top division championship on three occasions and came very close to becoming the first foreign-born grand champion, or yokozuna, prompting a social debate in Japan as to whether a foreigner could have the necessary cultural understanding to be deemed acceptable in sumo's ultimate rank. At a peak weight of 287 kg. he was also at the time the heaviest wrestler ever in sumo, earning him the nicknames, "Meat Bomb" and, most famously, "The Dump Truck".
