日蓮上人石和河にて鵜飼の迷魂を済度したまふ図（収載資料名：[武者无類外ニ三枚続キ画帖]）

芳年 · 秋山武右衛門 · 3 pictures

A Japanese woodblock print album (ehon) by the artist Yoshitoshi, published by Akiyama Takeemon, presenting Buddhist and legendary scenes in ink-and-colour prints for a general readership. Its three pictures show cormorants and fishermen on a moonlit river, a monk in a grey robe with a shaved head beside a pink spirit-cloud under dark trees, and a dark cormorant flying over rocks at night, giving a designer strong night palettes of deep blue-green with pale moon and pink accents.
