東洲齋寫樂
寫實動態的歌舞伎肖像
東洲齋寫樂是日本浮世繪版畫設計師，以歌舞伎演員肖像畫聞名。他的真實姓名以及生卒年份皆不為人知。他作為木版畫家的活躍生涯僅持續了十個月；他多產的作品曾遭非議，其創作活動也如開始時一樣突然而神秘地戛然而止。如今，他的作品被視為浮世繪流派中最傑出的作品之一。 Sharaku 主要創作歌舞伎演員的役者繪肖像。他的構圖強調充滿動感與活力的姿態，並展現出當時版畫中罕見的寫實風格——同時代的歌麿等人以理想化的美來描繪人物，而 Sharaku 則毫不避諱地展現人物不討喜的細節。這種風格並不符大眾的審美趣味，這位神秘藝術家的作品在 1795 年 1 月便停止了創作。他未經明顯學徒訓練便展現出對媒介的精湛掌握，引發了諸多猜測，研究者們長期以來一直試圖揭示其真實身分——在數十種推測中，有人認為他是一位默默無聞的詩人，有人認為他是能劇演員，甚至還有人認為他就是浮世繪大師葛飾北齋。
