新撰東錦絵 お富与三郎話（収載資料名：[武者无類外ニ三枚続キ画帖]）

芳年 · 1885 · 2 pictures

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock print series by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, dated 1885, drawn for a general Japanese audience as a picture book of popular storytelling. The pictures show scenes from a kabuki-style tale, with figures in patterned kimono and cloaks set against plain grey or blue backgrounds. A designer might borrow the flat colour fields, bold figure outlines, and the way a single moon or lantern anchors an otherwise empty ground.
