恋合端唄尽 清玄・惣太(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1860 · 若与 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from 1860 by Utagawa Toyokuni, published by Wakayo, in the ehon picture-book tradition, showing two actors in a kabuki-style scene beside a column of vertical calligraphy. The image offers designers a strong example of bold patterned kimono fabric, with a checked blue-and-white robe contrasting against dark garments and a pale face, plus the dense vertical text block that can serve as a graphic texture.
