花摘籠五十三駅内(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1860 · ゑひすや · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from 1860, published by Ebisuya and designed by Toyokuni, from a series of pictures for ehon picture books. It shows a bloodied warrior standing on a boat poled across a river. The bold red blood, strong outlines and flat colour blocks of the vertical print offer a designer a model for graphic, high-contrast action compositions.
