源九郎狐(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print of a kabuki actor in a red and white costume with a round crest pattern, holding a sword at the waist, the title in a cartouche at upper left. It comes from the Toyokuni picture album, a Japanese ehon collection, and the print shows bold red face paint, dense patterned textiles and strong dark blue ground that a designer could take as a model for vivid graphic framing.
