左衛門祐経 坂東彦三郎・十郎祐成 沢村納升・五郎時宗 沢村田之助(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1862 · 平のや · 3 pictures

A Japanese woodblock print album of kabuki actors in costume, made by the artist Toyokuni in 1862 and published by Hiranoya for a popular audience. The three pictures show actors in stylised poses against golden-roofed stage backdrops with bold patterned robes, a useful reference for designers seeking Edo-period graphic composition, flat colour areas, and dramatic patterning.
