八重垣紋三・蔭山繁之丞（収載資料名：豊国画帖）
This is a Japanese woodblock print album of actor portraits by Toyokuni, published in Edo-period Japan by Isekane for collectors and theatre lovers. The two pictures show kabuki actors in patterned kimono against gold-ground backdrops, with bold textile motifs and strong flat colour. A designer could take from them the dense layering of kimono patterns, the contrast of gold ground with rich indigo and red, and the use of decorative crests and calligraphy as graphic framing.
