濡衣女鳴神 近江八勇の内粟津(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1858 · 辻岡屋 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from 1858 by Toyokuni, published by Tsujiokaya, part of a picture album of actors and heroes sized as a single sheet. It shows a bust-length warrior in a dark robe with an orange and blue patterned sleeve and a sword hilt at the bottom, with a small landscape vignette of a lakeshore in the upper left. A designer might take the bold flat colour blocks, the dark ground that sets off the patterned kimono, and the framed inset scene as a layout model.
