市村羽左衛門(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1861 · 錦魁堂 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from 1861 by Utagawa Toyokuni, published by Kinkaido, showing an actor portrait from a picture album of kabuki figures. A kabuki actor in a red patterned kimono and checkered hakama sits beside a tea kettle and a lacquer box, his face made up with pale white and sharp black eyebrows. Designers can draw on the bold patterned textiles, the flat yellow striped background, and the close, theatrical framing of the figure.
