全盛四季夏 根津庄やしき大松楼（収載資料名：[武者无類外ニ三枚続キ画帖]）

芳年 · 秋山武右衛門 · 3 pictures

This is a Meiji-era Japanese woodblock print series by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, published by Akiyama Takeemon, from Tokyo, likely for urban pleasure-quarter viewers. Its three pictures show courtesans and attendants in patterned kimono at a teahouse or bath setting, with rich flat colour, dark green grounds and crisp black linework that a designer could use for pattern, colour and palette references.
