こし元おかる・早野勘平(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1860 · 1 picture

An 1860 Japanese woodblock print by Toyokuni, from an album of his pictures, showing two kabuki-style figures in ornate costume. The pair is set against a dark ground, with a man in a blue-grey kimono and a woman in a pink patterned robe with hairpins. Designers could draw on the bold contrast of the flat dark background, the dense floral kimono patterns and the strong red and gold accents.
