御当地御名残狂言口上(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1861 · 広幸 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from 1861, published by Hirokō and drawn by Toyokuni, part of a picture album of kabuki actor portraits made for theatre-going audiences in Edo. The image shows a kneeling samurai-costumed actor in a dark patterned kimono with crested family-mon badges, sword lying on a red-green stage floor, with calligraphic text in the upper right; a designer might take its bold flat colour blocks, strong diagonal patterning, and graphic use of crest roundels.
