恋合端唄つくし こしもと房の・木浦新吾(収載資料名:豊国画帖)
A Japanese woodblock print album page from 1861, published by Wakayo and made by the artist Toyokuni, collected in the Toyokuni picture album. The image shows a woman in a patterned kimono and a man in a dark kimono with crest motifs, with columns of handwritten Japanese verse above and an inscription in the margin. A designer might take from it the layered composition of text columns beside figures, the dense patterned textiles, and the restrained palette of indigo, cream and red accents.
