見立月雪花 あげ巻助六(収載資料名:豊国画帖)
A Japanese woodblock print from 1859 by the artist Toyokuni, issued by the publisher Kiya, and catalogued among Japanese picture books (ehon). The print shows a kabuki-style scene of a man in a dark blue robe with a red collar and a woman in an elaborate hairstyle with gold pins and a floral kimono. A designer might take its bold flat colour blocks, the dense patterned kimono textures, and the cloud-shaped text cartouche above the figures as a model for layout.
