	Viewing Japanese Prints: Sharaku
		Sharaku's prints were indeed descriptive and expressive of the actors' presence on the stage and of the roles they performed.
		Sharaku's artistic style was one in which truthfulness was manifested by simultaneous portrayals of both the stage persona and the actor himself.
		Sharaku's use of mica backgrounds, although not original to him, might also have served as devices meant to mimic reflected visages in mirrors and thus suggest a level of realism important to his artistic vision.

	3 Eyes is Coming Through
		Sharaku, accidentally deprived of his 3rd-eye bandage, quickly learns their secrets: one contains a recipe, the other is the brewing device --- for a powerful mind-control potion that had been used to enslave people long ago.
		Sharaku drops his bottle of potion, and, with his eye covered, has no clue what was in it.
		Sharaku the genius sort of regards her that way, too, but he is always ready to push her aside to promote his evil schemes of world dominion.

	Harvard University Art Museums - Press releases, 1996
		Both Sharaku and Utamaro were active in the city of Edo at the end of the eighteenth century and each strongly influenced successive generations of Japanese artists in their respective genres of Kabuki-actor portraiture and the depiction of beautiful women.
		Sharaku apparently did not have this capacity, and thus his images have an unbridled, raw quality much admired in the twentieth century but likely shocking to his contemporaries -- a factor that may have contributed to his eventual stylistic change and perhaps even his sudden disappearance.
		Sharaku has been associated with a No actor in the service of the Lord of Awa, a haiku poet, at least two separate minor Osaka-based Kabuki artists, the publisher Tsutaya Juzaburo himself, a woman, and a wide variety of other famous Ukiyo-e and non-Ukiyo-e artists.

	Sharaku - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Another theory claims that Sharaku was not in fact a person; rather Sharaku was a project launched by a group of artists to help the woodblock print house that had done them favors and aided them considerably.
		The rapidly changing style that Sharaku draw in (he changed his style four time in his short career), lends credibility to this claim.
		He is now considered one of the greatest of all woodblock artists, and the first 'modern' artist of Japan, and the extraordinarily rare extant originals of his prints command fantastic sums at auctions.

		Sharaku popped into the ukiyo-e printmaking scene in May 1794 like an alien from outer space.
		Sharaku is ranked higher in today's art world than such great masters like Utamaro or Hokusai.
		Sharaku prints were so much out of conformity that they apparently did not sell well.

		Sharaku's work is as brilliant as his life is mysterious.
		Sharaku's powerful draughtsmanship and his skilful use of colour-contrast exploit the whole gamut of technical possibilities available to the print artist.
		It is certainly true that the Japanese public were not prepared for Sharaku's incisive realism or his psychologically well-founded caricature, which were both revolutionary in ukiyo-e art and may well have been responsible for his extremely brief career.

		Mimicking the exact pose of the Sharaku portrait, he digitally collages a photograph of his own face and hands onto the Sharaku image, adding marks to transform and submerge his identity into that of the actor.

		The rest of the show is a homage to Sharaku: a measure of his importance for Japanese designers and artists.
		The three-dimensional works include some porcelain vessels by Akira Yagi, which may or may not refer to the mystery of Sharaku himself, who left an extraordinary legacy of prints produced in a brief 10 months, and about whom little else is known.
		But Takashi Fukai's Memory - Sharaku, with its "shishi" lion-dog figure from the Edo period fixed to the top of a rough hewn pole is clearly a memorial totem, a touchstone of sorts for the sculptor.

		The Marines told Sharaku that he was going to start one of the games against the Hawks, something he had never done in his entire professional career.
		Most people, including Sharaku himself, figured he'd throw and inning or two, tip his cap to the crowd and that would be it.
		Sharaku gave up a single to the leadoff hitter rather than walking him, but he was eliminated when the Hawks grounded into their 4th(!) double play.

		Toshusai Sharaku (17??-1801?) was one of the great masters - and one of the great innovative and creative geniuses - of the Japanese woodblock print, in addition to being the greatest mystery in the world of ukiyo-e, and one of the great enigmas in all of world art.
		First, we know next to nothing of him, other than his prints; not even his true name, or the date of his death, is known with any certainty.
		"Sharaku designed likenesses of Kabuki actors, but because he depicted them too trthfully, his prints did not conform to accepted ideas, and his career was short.."

	Sharaku
		Ever since Sharaku first became famous in the Occident a controversy has raged as to the part in which Ebizo is depicted in this print.
		There are several states which appear to be practically contemporary with the publication of the supposed first edition, and the reprints made with intent to deceive are almost as numerous as the frank copies.
		In any case the variations in the calligraphy of the signature show that at least one new block was cut, probably very soon after the first appearance of the print and certainly long before the later copies were made.

		This is a reproduction of one of his famous actor prints, and depicts the kabuki actor Bando Mitsugoro II in the role of Ishii Genzo, in the play 'Hana Ayame Bunroku Soga'.
		A great deal has been written about Sharaku, about the mystery of who he was, where he came from, and why he 'disappeared' so suddenly after producing so many interesting print designs in such a short time.
		This is the first Sharaku print I have ever made, and indeed, it is the first 'classical' reproduction to be included in these albums, in the sense of being a well-known design from a well-known artist - a 'standard number', as they say in Japanese.

	FFWD Weekly - June 29th, 2000
		Toshusai Sharaku was a rogue artist during the famous ukiyo-e period of polychrome wood-block printmaking in Japan’s 17th to 19th centuries.
		During a short period in 1794, Sharaku suddenly began portraying the frozen faces and hands of Kabuki actors to depict their inner character in an impressionistic fashion that surpasses realism.
		This pioneering quality of Sharaku, later helped by better known ukiyo-e artists such as Hokusai, Hiroshige and Utamaro, carried the Japanese age of ukiyo-e mass prints into Western art during the 19th century and forever altered the course of modern art.

		The most mysterious master in the history of Japanese art was a printmaker who signed himself Sharaku, meaning depict pleasure.
		One spring day in 1794 Sharaku entered a guidebook and print shop on the edge of Edo's red-light district carrying some stark, needle-sharp portraits of Kabuki actors.
		The shopkeeper agreed to publish his drawings, so for the next ten months Sharaku depicted the pleasures of the stage.
