不破伴左衛門・滝の屋女房おもん・名古屋山三(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1860 · ゑひすや · 3 pictures

A Japanese woodblock print from 1860 by Toyokuni, published by Ebisuya, in a picture album of kabuki actors in costume for an Edo audience. Three full-colour portraits show actors in patterned kimono against lantern-lit night scenes with blossoming trees and town houses. A designer might take the dense, layered patterning of the robes, the bold blue-black and gold palette, and the dramatic night-lit compositions.
