新撰東錦絵 長庵札ノ辻ニテ弟ヲ殺害之図（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

A woodblock print from 1886 by the Japanese artist Yoshitoshi, published by Tsunashima Kamekichi, belonging to the ehon picture-book tradition of Meiji Japan and aimed at a general readership. The two pictures show dramatic night scenes in heavy rain with a swordsman in a blue robe and a fan-carrying figure, and a fleeing figure in a green cloak beside an umbrella under a lightning-lit sky; a designer might borrow their bold silhouettes, rain lines, and high-contrast night palette.
