¡Roku Nin Ita! Sharaku Utamaro to Tsuta Ya Ga Produce Shita Ukiyoe Gundan(Takarajimasha Shinsho)
¡Hashimoto Naoki / Cho
Description
[Machine Translation] Many scholars have referred to Sharaku's true identity. The current theory is that he was the Noh actor Saito Jurobei, according to the "Ukiyo-e Ruikou" (Ukiyo-e Studies). But is this really so? Could a Noh actor have created that many ukiyoe during his off-duty period? To answer this question, the Kansai Sharaku Study Group has thoroughly researched Sharaku's ukiyo-e, the ukiyo-e of other ukiyo-e artists of the time, and books such as Kiyo-enshi. They pursued the true Sharaku. Finally, they came to the conclusion that there were six Sharaku. Furthermore, the first Sharaku was a woman. She was Chiyome, a woman conceived by Tsutaya Shigesaburo and sent out under the guidance of Kitagawa Utamaro. She was the Sharaku who created paintings that astonished the world!
