濡衣女鳴神 近江八勇の内勢田(収載資料名:豊国画帖)
This Edo-period Japanese woodblock print from 1858 is a colour sheet from a picture album published by Tsujiokaya, made by the artist Toyokuni for a general readership of collectors and theatre fans. The print shows a half-length portrait of a costumed man in a dark blue kimono with gold family crests, holding a folding fan, with a small inset landscape of a river and hills in the upper left corner; a designer might take its bold flat colour blocks, patterned textiles and the framed inset view as a model for layouts that pair a portrait with a small scene.
