踊ノ師匠おきの・面うりふく吉・花見帰りの供奴・朝きよめの仕丁(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1860 · 清常 · 2 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock print album sheet from 1860 by the artist Toyokuni, published by Seijō, collected in a picture book of kabuki and theatrical character portraits. Its pages show bold kabuki-style figures in richly patterned robes against deep blue backgrounds, with a few mask-like faces and cat-and-mask motifs that a designer could borrow for graphic, poster or pattern work.
