加々見山 局岩藤・中老尾上・召使はつ(収載資料名:俳優画帖)

豊国 · 辻安 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from a picture book of actors, published by Tsuji, credited to Toyokuni, depicting a scene from the Kanadehon-style theatre tradition. Three figures in richly patterned kimono occupy an interior with gold screens and a lattice wall, and a designer might take the bold orange and deep blue palette, the patterned textiles, and the dynamic diagonal composition of the kneeling figure and fallen sword.
