四ツ谷聞書 民谷伊右衛門・矢藤与茂七・与茂七女房お袖（収載資料名：俳優画帖）
A Japanese woodblock print from the Kaocho-ro Toyokuni circle, published by Tsuji Yasu, sheet from a picture book of kabuki actors titled Yotsuya Kikigaki. Three actors in patterned kimono stand and kneel among bamboo, one holding a sword, with the printed Japanese title and carved bamboo stalks filling the scene. A designer could take the dense bamboo backdrop, the layered striped and checked textiles, and the tight diagonal poses for compositions built on overlapping figures and pattern.
