Thanks,
It appears the emperor was a fan of sumo, and he appears on several prints.
Regarding the names, I am pretty sure about Umegatani on the left. The two bottom kanjis of the right sumo's name are, yama and shima. But I am not sure about the two top ones...and they don't seem to fit with your proposition.
Here is a better picture of the name.
