髦の意休 市川団蔵・揚巻の助六 河原崎権十郎・三浦屋揚巻 岩井粂三郎・白ざけうり 中村芝翫・そば屋かつぎ 市村羽左衛門(収載資料名:豊国画帖)
This is a Japanese woodblock print album of kabuki actor portraits, made by Toyokuni in 1862 and published by Aitō, for collectors and theatre audiences. The three pictures show costumed actors in dramatic poses against dark indigo grounds with bold patterned kimono, and a designer might take their strong flat colour, dense kimono patterning and theatrical composition as models.
