Condition: Good impression, vibrant colors,
Japanese Woodblock Print,
Size: Print (30 x 15 cm), Backing sheet (41.5 x 30 cm)

This illustration depicts the role of O-Sode, the daughter of the innkeeper of Nikenya, in the second act of the kabuki play 'Katsuragawa Tsuki Shutsuden,' performed at the Kawarazaki Theater in July of the sixth year of Kansei.
Among Sharaku's works from the second period, this piece stands out as exceptional. The bold use of yellow in the background and the stripes of the kimono, further enhanced by the contrasting black collar and hemline, as well as the deep green obi, showcase Sharaku's daring sense of color. The precise positioning of these two colors creates a remarkable artistic effect, demonstrating Sharaku's mastery of artistic sensibility. What further enhances this picture is the portrayal of the gracefully curved posture characteristic of kabuki onnagata (female role) figures. Moreover, the positioning of the left hand, holding a long smoking pipe and packing tobacco with the other hand, adds to the depiction. This technique is a testament to Sharaku's remarkable artistic skill, indicating his profound understanding and portrayal of kabuki.
