芳年武者无類 相模守北条最明寺入道時頼（収載資料名：[武者无類外ニ三枚続キ画帖]）

大蘇芳年 · 1883 · 小林鉄次郎 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from 1883 by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (published by Kobayashi Tetsujiro), issued as part of a picture album of warrior subjects for a general Japanese audience. The image shows a snowy winter scene with a monk-like figure at a lit paper-screened window, a blue and olive patterned robe in the foreground, and a blue-and-white ceramic pot, with a red and yellow cartouche at the top left. A designer might draw on its restrained palette of snow white, indigo and vermilion accents, and its layered composition of bent snow-laden branches framing an interior.
