A Japanese woodblock print from 1862 by Toyokuni, published by Kinkaido, part of a picture album of kabuki actors, showing the actor Sawamura Tossho in a formal portrait. The image shows a seated man in a patterned blue-green kimono with red lining, holding a fan, beside a lacquered tray and a hanging scroll with bold calligraphy, and a designer could take its strong flat colour blocks, patterned textile surfaces and close framing of the figure against decorative interior details.
