葛の葉狐 中村芝翫・安部の保名 河原崎権十郎(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1861 · 辻岡屋 · 2 pictures

A Japanese woodblock print from 1861, published by Tsujioka-ya and made by the artist Toyokuni, likely aimed at a Japanese readership of ehon picture books. The two pictures show kabuki-style actors in a domestic interior with autumn maple branches and sliding paper screens, with fine linework, flat colour and patterned kimono that a designer could borrow for layout and pattern ideas.
