An icon of Ukiyo-e: A Closer Look at Sharaku's Masterpiece 🇯🇵
Sharaku's career was as brief as it was brilliant. Active for only about ten months from 1794 to 1795, he created a body of work that has captivated art historians and collectors for centuries. His portraits are renowned for their psychological depth and expressive power, a radical departure from the more stylised portrayals of his contemporaries.
This particular print depicts the famed actor Ōtani Oniji III in the villainous role of Yakko Edobei. Sharaku's genius lies in his ability to capture a single, climactic moment of performance. The leering face, bristling hair and menacing, outstretched hands convey the ruthless nature of the character with incredible intensity. The dramatic bust portrait format, a feature of many of Sharaku's works, draws us in, creating a powerful psychological impact that feels modern even today. 🖼️
