This sumo-e made me convince that Sharaku is Hokusai.
When I finished [Who is Sharaku?] I had not discovered more advanced model.
As I found another digital image for the sumo-e, I made circlecross model.
Shunro(Hokusai) [Sumo-e] circle-cross model
Extending each arc, I made circles.
Each circle with the horizontal and vertical diameters forms a unit (circle-cross unit).
Of the largest blue circles, I made the basic three circles in sky blue.
The three units are on the same vertical line.
The top light blue circle that makes the left shoulder of the back wrestler passes the center of the picture.
The red unit and green unit are placed on the vertical line.
Moving the middle blue-unit to the right,it overlaps the unit that makes the left thigh of the back wrestler.
It is clear that this picture is made systematically.
For comparison, I chose early Sharaku: [iwai Hansiro].
Sharaku [Iwai Hansiro] circle-cross model
There are five distinctive vertical lines.
Looking from the left,
the first vertical line is made by
the unit of the third sheet of four layer collar on the left and
the unit of the second sheet of of the four-layer collar on the right.
On this line smaller red unit is placed.
The second vertical line passes through the left eye.
The top blue unit makes the top part of the comb and
the bottom unit makes the first layer of the right collar.
On the third vertical line,
there are one dark red unit that makes the foehead and
blue unit that makes right shoulder.
Another red unit makes right cuff.
The fourth vertical line passes through the center of the picture.
The top pinked unit makes the right cheek and
the second pinked unit makes the first layer of the left collar.
The fifth vertical line is made of three red units.
The top unit makes a line of hair.
The second unit makes the line between the collar and the sleeve.
The third unit makes the right sleeve.
The top part of the picture reminds me of the circle-pivot model of [osiokurihatoutuusen-no-zu].
There are two similar techniques .
Firstly the comb is made of four different circles,
and the ship is also made of four different circles,
Secondly the hair waves are made of bundled circles of the same size.

There is no art theory without studying individual artworks structurally.
Yukihiko, I've had your blog bookmarked since 2015 regarding your post on the smallest unit of art. Do you have an email by any chance? I would love to run an idea by you.
