慈悲蔵女房お種 市川新車・山本勘助 中村芝翫・直江山城 河原崎権十郎(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1861 · 濃安 · 3 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock print album of kabuki actor portraits by Utagawa Toyokuni, published in 1861 by Nōan, showing theatrical figures in costume and set against snowy landscapes. The three pictures are full-length actor prints with flat colour, patterned robes, and simple interior and snow backdrops, useful to a designer for kimono-style patterning, bold outlined figures, and the compact layout of vertical text cartouches beside the image.
