新撰東錦絵 大久保彦左衛門盥登城之図（収載資料名：[武者无類外ニ三枚続キ画帖]）

芳年 · 1886 · 2 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock print by Yoshitoshi from 1886, issued as a single sheet in a series of Japanese picture books for a general Japanese audience. Its two pictures show samurai and townspeople in bold flat colour, with a figure carried in a tub and attendants in striped hakama. A designer might take the patterned textiles, strong blocks of blue, green and red, and the crowded, theatrical composition from these scenes.
