妻迎艶文月 南方十次兵衛・南与兵衛・十次兵衛女房おはや(収載資料名:俳優画帖)

豊国 · 辻安 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from an ehon picture book, published by Tsuji Yasu and made by the artist Toyokuni, depicting a stage-derived domestic scene of kabuki actors. The image shows a kneeling woman in a blue patterned kimono beside a samurai in armour at a low table, with a woman in a grey robe behind a folding screen under maple branches, and a lit lantern and paper letters in the foreground. A designer could take its flat colour blocks, bold outlines, and layered room divisions for compositional and graphic reference.
