むさし坊弁慶・うし若丸・こんから坊・白拍子さくら木・せいたか坊(収載資料名:豊国画帖)
A Japanese woodblock print album from 1854, made by the artist Toyokuni for an audience of collectors and playgoers, with pictures of kabuki actors in roles drawn from famous legends. The three pictures show costumed performers and figures in round or lozenge-shaped cartouches set against a dark grey lattice ground, with bold patterned robes and strong flat colour that a designer could borrow for pattern and framing.
