Honolulu was buzzing with Sumo fever as everyone anticipated the Grand Sumo Tournament on the weekend of June 9th.  We were happy to see many old friends and meet new enthusiasts of art and sumo.  Lynn Matsuoka's new original works of art in oil and graphite were admired by all for their intimate look at the life and spirit of sumo.
