1. Wow they’re thinner than I expected

2. Skinny!
   More like judo heavyweights

3. They look much more athletic and healthier than today’s wrestlers. Some things really were better in the old days.

4. Why does it look like they’re on the shoulder of other people and those are the other people’s feet

6. Two of them are actually kinda jacked.

   And the family crests (Kamon) in the corners are interesting,
   The Kamon on the right looks quite simplified compared to examples shown online.
