沢村田之助(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1861 · 錦魁堂 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print book from 1861, published by Kikaidō and made by the artist Toyokuni for a general readership, drawn from an album of his portraits. The one picture shows a woman in a patterned kimono holding a comb to her hair beside a lacquer stand, rendered in flat colour with bold outlines and calligraphic text in the upper margin, offering a designer a strong model for vertical layouts, patterned textiles, and hand-lettered panels.
