(無題)(収載資料名:国芳豊国画帖)

一陽斎豊国,香蝶楼豊国 · ト山口 · 3 pictures

A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) of the Edo period, credited to the artists Ichiyōsai Toyokuni and Kochōrō Toyokuni and issued by the publisher To Yamaguchi, showing standing figures in patterned kimono against townscapes. The three pictures show full-length figures in patterned robes with flat, outlined colour and a pale ground, with a cat, a wooden bucket and a shop-lined street as setting details; a designer might take the bold kimono patterning, the dense textile motifs and the economical use of a single pale background.
