Nomi no Sukune by Kikuchi Yōsai

Nomi no Sukune (野見 宿禰) was a legendary figure in Japanese history, regarded as the founder of sumo wrestling.[1] He was the founder of the HajinoMuraji clan.[2]

Life

Sukune is said to have lived during the reign of Emperor Suinin (29 BC – 70).[3] Allegedly, in 23 B.C., the Emperor instructed Nomi no Sukune to deal with Taima no Kehaya (当麻蹴速) after he boasted that he was the strongest man "under the heavens". Nomi no Sukune engaged Taima no Kehaya in hand-to-hand combat and broke his ribs with one kick and his back with another, killing Taima no Kehaya.[4][5] It was not modern sumo, but he is regarded as the creator of sumo.[6]

He was an ancestor of Sugawara no Michizane,[3] great-grandfather to Haji no Mino and was the founder of the Haji clan after his creation of haniwa.[7]

Legacy

[edit]

A mural of him, removed from the old National Stadium in 2014, was put on display at the new stadium in 2019.[8]
