金幤長者将 築紫の権六・鹿之助妹おたね・早川高景(収載資料名:俳優画帖)

豊国 · 辻安 · 1 picture

This is a Japanese woodblock print from an actor picture album (haiyū gachō), published by Tsujiya and credited to the artist Toyokuni, probably in the Edo period for a theatre-going public. The print shows a kabuki-style scene of costumed actors in a dramatic confrontation, with its patterned kimono, armour and bold colour blocks giving a designer strong ideas for pattern, costume and layout.
