Yet another older sculpture that I reshot.

A tosa inu in traditional sumo garb and with ginko leaf hair style, ready for a fight.

The tosa inu is a rare Japanese breed bred for dog fighting. However, this is a wrestling dog. While they may bite to get a grip, the dog should actually pin the other dog to the ground. Champions are awarded elaborate embroidered aprons similar to those worn by human wrestlers for ceremonial occasions.
