芳年武者无類 八幡太郎義家（収載資料名：[武者无類外ニ三枚続キ画帖]）

芳年 · 1886 · 小林鉄次郎 · 1 picture

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock print series by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, published in 1886 in Tokyo by Kobayashi Tetsujirō, collected as an ehon picture album for a general audience of print buyers. The single picture shows a warrior in a yellow-and-green robe leaping from a wooden veranda under a full moon, sword raised, with a bold title cartouche in the upper left. A designer might take its dynamic diagonal composition, flat bright colour blocks, and the moon-and-mountain night setting.
