The Mystery of Sharaku

We exhibited in the special category "Inspire exhibition" of Tokyo Design Week(It is not a competition). The category that the selected people can exhibit, this theme was "Sharaku". Sharaku is a popular illustrator with many mysteries. Sharaku exaggerated the epidemic of the time and common sense, and boldly exaggerated the characteristics of the face of the Kabuki actor. So I also interpreted boldly. Making footpack Tabi socks, making picture frames like the Kabuki mirror stand, styling and make-up, Sharaku may have been a woman. I made up such a fashion story.
