Sharaku produced some of the most evocative art of the floating world and his artistic abilities were well ahead of his time. His designs still stand unchallenged as the quintessence of Kabuki Theatre. Sharaku was active for a brief period of 10 months between 1794 and 1795. It was also believed he was a noh actor in the service of the Lord of Awa. Sharaku’s works are in many of the leading museums around the world such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York, The Museum of Fine Arts Boston, The Art Institute of Chicago, The British Museum London, State Hermitage Museum St Petersburg as well as Tokyo National Museum.
