芳年武者无類 源牛若丸・熊坂長範（収載資料名：[武者无類外ニ三枚続キ画帖]）

大蘇芳年 · 1883 · 1 picture

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (Ōsō Yoshitoshi), dated 1883, from a series of warrior prints collected in an ehon album. It shows a dramatic combat scene in traditional armour and is aimed at a domestic Japanese audience. Designers can draw on its bold diagonal composition, saturated red and green palette, and dynamic armoured figures in motion.
