両国夕涼之図(収載資料名:国芳豊国画帖)

豊国 · 清常 · 3 pictures

A Japanese woodblock print from the Edo period, published by Seichō and drawn by Toyokuni, from an album of the Kuniyoshi and Toyokuni drawings. The three plates show figures in boats and on covered pleasure barges, with cool blue water, pale ochre hulls and striped or patterned kimono. A designer could take the flat colour planes, the diagonal boat structures and the patterned textiles as reference for layout and surface pattern.
