东洲斋写乐
写实动态的歌舞伎肖像
东洲斋写乐是日本浮世绘版画设计师，以歌舞伎演员肖像画闻名。他的真实姓名以及生卒年份均不为人知。他作为木版画家的活跃生涯仅持续了十个月；他多产的作品曾遭到非议，其创作活动也如开始时一样突然而神秘地戛然而止。如今，他的作品被视为浮世绘流派中最杰出的作品之一。 Sharaku主要创作歌舞伎演员的役者绘肖像。他的构图强调充满动感与活力的姿态，并展现出当时版画中罕见的写实风格——同时代的歌麿等人以理想化的美来描绘人物，而Sharaku则毫不避讳地展现人物不讨喜的细节。这种风格并不符合大众的审美趣味，这位神秘艺术家的作品在1795年1月便停止了创作。他未经明显学徒训练便展现出对媒介的精湛掌握，引发了诸多猜测，研究者们长期以来一直试图揭示其真实身份——在数十种推测中，有人认为他是一位默默无闻的诗人，有人认为他是能剧演员，甚至还有人认为他就是浮世绘大师葛饰北斋。
