ARTIST: Toshusai Sharaku

Toshusai Sharaku is a woodblock print artist active in the Edo peirod. Little is known about him so his true name and birth place is uncertain. He was only active for ten months, between 1794 to 1795. It is possible that Sharaku was not a single artist but a project by a group of artists. For more information about Sharaku, see

About the Print

This ukiyoe is dated 1794, depicting the actor Otani Oniji III as Edobe, the villain, in the kabuki play 'Koi nyobo somewake tazuna (The beloved wife's particolored reins)'. Kabuki is an ancient form of stylized theater traditional to Japan. Having become popular in the 17th century, it is still a major form of theater today in Japan.
