梅暦見立八勝人 五 男達飾海老の門松（収載資料名：豊国画帖）
A Japanese woodblock print from 1859 by Utagawa Toyokuni, published by Ebisuya, presented as a plate in an ehon picture album. It shows a standing kabuki-style actor in a patterned blue robe, with a stiff lobster-decorated pine arrangement at his side and a block of vertical calligraphy above. Designers may take its bold outlines, flat colour areas and the dense black-and-white text panel as a model for layout and character portraiture.
