Description1 b&w image of sumo wrestler Toyomori Hosokawa in formal kesho mawashi with sumo name Toshuzan, his arms held at his sides. The kesho mawashi to the right was originally awarded to a wrestler named Toyomori Hosokawa (sumo name "Toshuzan") in the late 1920s. The lettering on the bottom indicates that it was presented to him by "Sacramento yushi" (Sacramento fans/supporters). After his death in 1930, it was passed on to other wrestlers.
