てい女みさほ鏡（収載資料名：国芳豊国画帖）
A Japanese woodblock print from an ehon picture album, attributed to Utagawa Kuniyoshi (一勇斎国芳), who worked in Edo for popular audiences. The image shows a barefoot figure in a patterned indigo kimono striding forward in front of a shoji screen where two shadowed figures appear, with the calligraphic title in the margin. A designer could take its bold silhouetted shapes, flat indigo and red colour blocks, and the stark contrast between the lit foreground figure and the dark shadow theatre behind.
