Furoshiki – “The Actor Otani Oniji III” by Sharaku

Make a bold statement with this exquisite furoshiki, featuring one of the most instantly recognizable images in all of Japanese art. This versatile wrapping cloth showcases the iconic ukiyo-e woodblock print by the enigmatic master Toshusai Sharaku, depicting the kabuki actor Otani Oniji III in the role of the manservant Edohei.

Known for his dynamic and psychologically penetrating portraits, Sharaku captures the actor in a moment of intense dramatic tension. The print features Otani Oniji III with a grimacing expression and a striking pose, rendered against a textured purple background. The artwork is authenticated with Japanese text and an English inscription in the bottom corner that reads, “The Actor Otani Oniji III as Edohei the Manservant SHARAKU”
