Nippu Jiji Photograph Archive, "Japanese" Collection

Caption on reverse [translation]: "(Osaka) August 6, 1938. Minanogawa, who now has great fame as the founding(?) Yokozuna, came back in the sun from a month-long trip for an Imperial Army inquiry on the continent. On the 16th at 7:30 a.m. he arrived at Kobe Bay by a ferryboat sailing between Japan and Manchuria. The hugest guy in all Japan, sumo wrestler Minanogawa surprised people's eyes with his modern style, wearing a suit and field cap. (The picture is Minanogawa in modern Western clothes.)"
