芳年武者无類 相模次郎平将門（収載資料名：[武者无類外ニ三枚続キ画帖]）

大蘇芳年 · 1883 · 1 picture

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock print from 1883 by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, part of an ehon picture album of warriors, showing a samurai legend in bold color. The scene shows a rearing white horse, a mounted warrior in red and black armour swinging a sword, and a fallen figure in the foreground, set against a pale sky and mountains. A designer could take its dramatic diagonal composition, flat color blocks, and dynamic action poses.
