The Actor Otani Oniji II as Yakko Edobei is a work created by Toshusai Sharaku, an ukiyo-e master who remains popular today. This piece, based on a kabuki play, depicts the villain as he is about to attack, with his hands spread wide in threat and his face full of hatred. A yakko is a manservant often used by samurai to perform violent deeds.
