Ukiyo-e Jigsaw Puzzle (252 / 520-piece): Ichikawa Omezō as Sodesuke – Toshusai Sharaku | Kabuki Actor Portrait / Edo Woodblock Art

Step into the intensity of Edo-period kabuki theatre with this dramatic ukiyo-e puzzle featuring Toshusai Sharaku, the legendary — and mysterious — master of actor portraiture.

This work depicts the actor Ichikawa Omezō in the role of Sodesuke, poised in a moment of sharp awareness, gripping his sword with powerful determination. Sharaku captures the tension of the stage not through exaggerated action, but through psychological expression — wide, focused eyes, tightened jaw, and coiled energy ready to strike.

Unlike conventional portraits, Sharaku emphasized raw emotion and human truth. Every detail — the bold facial lines, the dramatic posture, the tension in the hand gripping the sword — brings life to the world of kabuki, making this print one of his most arresting theatrical portraits.

Now this iconic design has been transformed into a premium jigsaw puzzle, allowing you to enjoy both the thrill of classical theatre and the calming satisfaction of puzzle solving.
