The important Japanese woodblock printmaker Katsukawa Shunsho is a well-known representative of the ukiyo-e art style, whose subject is the flowing, transient world. He lived from about 1726 to 1793 in Edo, today's Tokyo. To this day his unique works, which show mainly Kabuki actors and sumo wrestlers, fascinate. The special thing about these illustrations is the way the characters of Katsukawa Shunsho are portrayed. His portraits appear extremely realistic and lively.
In 1764 Katsukawa Shunsho began to paint actors and scenes from the Kabuki theatre. At that time the Kabuki Theater was the theater of the bourgeoisie, which was characterized by striking costumes as well as music and dance. Highlights of the theater were the characteristic poses of the Kabuki actors. Especially these poses were captured by Shunsho in ukiyo-e wood color prints. This is how Shunsho's works of art such as "Nakamura Sukegoro II as Samurai" or "Onoe Matsusuke in a female role" were created. With his unique drawing style, Katsukawa Shunsho founded his Katsukawa school, which produced several famous Japanese artists of the ukiyo-e style.
In addition to the depictions of Kabuki actors, Shunsho's works also include numerous portraits of sumo players and images of ladies in fine kimonos. His works radiate a unique atmosphere and captivate with their fine lines. All his pictures express the character of the portrayed person in a special way, which helped Katsukawa Shunsho to become very popular.
