A site for tegata collectors to check authenticity against real images of authentic and printed tegata

This site builds on John Gunning’s early 2000s tegata gallery posted on “sumoforum.net”, and combines images from:

  • John’s original early 2000s Nishinoshima Tegata Gallery site,
  • Tegata images from tegatastore.com,
  • Tegata images from bigSUMOfan.com,
  • Images from private collection(s), and
  • Images for open source internet sites.

The majority of images are subject to copyright and are provided for comparison purposes only. They can not be copied or re-used without permission.

Simply click on the link to the Authentic Tegata gallery, the Authentic Yokozuna gallery (authentic examples) or the Printed Tegata gallery below to check your tegata against known examples from the above contributors. The FAQ page provides useful info on tegata.
