早瀬伊織・足達元右衛門(収載資料名:豊国画帖)
A Japanese woodblock print from an ehon picture album, made by the artist Toyokuni in 1860 and published by Aitoya for a popular audience. The print shows two kabuki-style figures in a bloody confrontation, one with a sword and one wounded, in strongly patterned plaid and checked robes. A designer could take its bold dramatic composition, dense textile patterns, and the tension of crossed diagonal blades against a dark ground.
