Sherry--This is a puzzle to be certain.
Sumo wrestlers being grotesquely fat, looking like the human version of an amoeba are rightfully revered in Japan. Chu Mei Ash being a short never received any sort of reverence from the population at large or the market specifically.
Perhaps there is some confusion of names here. If Chu Mei Ash were a sumo wrestler shorting stocks would have of course been completely forgivable since sports heroes are allowed to do whatever they want as long as they: deny it, say they are sorry, promise not to do it again, and continue to win. [This is not a trait unique to Japanese culture.]
I do not have much information on Sumo wrestling. Certainly Chu Mei Ash's name is not unique. So it is possible a sumo wrestler had the same name. Fortunately I do have an extensive collection of pillow books (which I own for their artistry and collectors value) and I have a copy of 'Samauri Stud Muffin'. It is particularly at odds with that photograph both in descriptions in the text and the engravings. I post the text when I have time. The engravings of the great short (a misnomer if ever there was one, unless considerable artistic license was taken) show a trim athletic man.
