This artwork reinterprets a classic ukiyo-e portrait by Tōshūsai Sharaku, one of Edo-period Japan’s most enigmatic and influential printmakers. Originally known for his dramatic and exaggerated depictions of kabuki actors, Sharaku’s style is re-imagined here through four iconic Japanese manga aesthetics: One Piece, Dragon Ball, Naruto, and Vagabond. Each panel preserves the fierce expression of the original actor portrait while transforming it into the visual language of a different era and genre.
