当世好男子伝 憮小ニ比ス団七九郎兵衛(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 林庄 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from the Meiji era by Toyokuni, published by Hayashi Shō, a portrait of a kabuki actor in costume, issued as part of a picture album for a general audience. The print shows a bold, hooded-headed male figure in a patterned green and blue kimono with a red and white dragon-like motif, set against a dark night sky with blossoming branches; a designer might take its strong outlines, flat colour blocks and dramatic pose.
