SHARAKU

Sharaku (1784-1785) Reproductions An extremely rare series of prints published in 1940 by Adachi. Adachi succeeded in reproducing these famous prints of the 18th century master, Sharaku, with such brilliance that they rival the original prints. Because these prints were so difficult to make and so expensive to produce, they were limited to an edition of 300. Mica was lavished on the prints, the finest pigments were used, the paper is exquisite and hand-made, and the craftsmen were the finest.
