左金吾頼兼 薪水 (収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1861 · 鍵庄 · 2 pictures

A Japanese woodblock print album (ehon) by Toyokuni, published in 1861 by Kagishō, collected in a picture album and aimed at collectors of theatre portraits. The first picture shows a stage actor in a patterned blue-and-indigo kimono with a gold-hilted sword, set against a pale ground with red rain-like strokes; the second is a plain round disc outlined in ink on a tan ground, a minimal motif a designer could borrow for graphic simplification.
