The Surviving Works of Sharaku is a book written by Harold G. Henderson that explores the life and works of the Japanese artist Toshusai Sharaku. Sharaku was a prolific artist during the Edo period of Japan and is renowned for his portraits of Kabuki actors. However, despite his popularity during his lifetime, Sharaku's works were largely forgotten after his sudden disappearance from the art scene. This book delves into the surviving works of Sharaku and provides a comprehensive analysis of his art style, techniques, and influences. Henderson also examines the various theories surrounding Sharaku's sudden disappearance and the mystery surrounding his identity. The book features numerous high-quality illustrations of Sharaku's surviving works, including his famous Kabuki actor portraits. Henderson provides detailed descriptions of each piece, offering insight into the artist's creative process and the cultural significance of his work. Overall, The Surviving Works of Sharaku is an essential read for anyone interested in Japanese art, culture, and history. It offers a unique perspective on one of Japan's most enigmatic artists and sheds light on a fascinating period in the country's artistic development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
