てい女みさほかゞみ(収載資料名:国芳豊国画帖)

一勇斎国芳 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from an ehon picture book, attributed to Utagawa Kuniyoshi, showing a standing figure in a patterned kimono holding a sword before a screen whose shadows reveal armoured warriors. The image suggests how a designer might use silhouette shadows layered behind a bold central figure, with strong pattern in the robe and the calligraphic inscription in the upper left as a textual device.
