形容尽百番の内 ろ 小野の小町・和藤内・大伴ノ黒主・錦せう女(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1858 · 小川 · 2 pictures

A Japanese woodblock print from 1858 by Utagawa Toyokuni, published by Ogawa, drawn from a picture album of stage actors in character roles for an audience of theatre-going townspeople. The two prints show a court lady in a patterned kimono with a fan, a masked figure in a striped costume, a black-robed man with a sword, and a young woman in embroidered robes against blossom and lantern backdrops. A designer could take bold flat colour blocks, patterned textiles, and the stylised poses and framing of kabuki portraiture.
