新撰東錦絵 越田御殿酒宴之図（収載資料名：[武者无類外ニ三枚続キ画帖]）

芳年 · 1886 · 綱島亀吉 · 2 pictures

This is a woodblock print from 1886 by Yoshitoshi, published by Tsunashima Kamekichi in Japan, belonging to a series of Japanese picture books (ehon) of court and palace life. The two pictures show elegantly dressed women in richly patterned kimono in interior scenes with patterned screens and lacquered furnishings. A designer could take from them the layered textile patterns, the dense floral and wave motifs on the backgrounds, and the bold use of red, blue and gold against flat colour fields.
