てい女みさほ鏡(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 album, attributed to Utagawa Kuniyoshi (一勇斎国芳), with its title in kana and kanji and a collected-album caption. The image shows a figure in a dark kimono holding a lantern beside a paper screen, with shadow silhouettes of attackers cast on the shoji behind, which suggests a designer could borrow the bold silhouette-against-screen composition and strong black-and-cream contrast.
