Experience the elegance and subtle emotion of Edo-period theatre through this premium ukiyo-e puzzle featuring Toshusai Sharaku, one of Japan’s most enigmatic and celebrated ukiyo-e masters.

The artwork depicts the kabuki actor Matsumoto Yonesaburō in the role of Shinobu, captured in a moment of refined poise and elegance. Sharaku’s sharp yet delicate style highlights the actor’s graceful features, richly patterned kimono, and dramatic hair ornaments — a stunning embodiment of classical Japanese beauty and theatrical sophistication.

Unlike typical portraits, Sharaku’s works are revered for revealing personality, stage presence, and inner emotion. The slight turn of the actor’s head, the soft expression, and the poised pipe in hand convey both dignity and quiet allure — a timeless moment frozen in Edo’s golden age of kabuki.

Now this rare and iconic portrait has been transformed into a high-quality jigsaw puzzle, merging traditional fine art with a calming and rewarding building experience.
