安達多九郎・小幡小平次（収載資料名：豊国画帖）
This is a Japanese woodblock print from an album of kabuki actor portraits by Toyokuni, published in Edo by Ōtaya Takichi in the nineteenth century, with the portrait of Adachi Takuro and Obata Kohei in the same series. The two pictures show a masked actor in a black patterned robe holding a sword, and a pale-faced actor in a red plaid kimono with blood-red streaks and a sword, both against dark grey backgrounds with hanging willow branches. A designer might take the bold cut-out patterning, the strong black-and-red contrast, and the dramatic theatrical poses.
