芳年武者无類 相模守北条高時（収載資料名：[武者无類外ニ三枚続キ画帖]）

大蘇芳年 · 1 picture

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (Ōso Yoshitoshi), issued as a single sheet from a picture album of warrior prints for a popular audience. The print shows a costumed actor-like warrior in a dramatic pose with a large fan, surrounded by a swirl of billowing and ornamented robes, and stylized flames or clouds. Designers can take its bold cropped composition, strong red and gold palette, and dense ornamental pattern work on the garments.
