芳年武者无類 日野隈若丸（収載資料名：[武者无類外ニ三枚続キ画帖]）

芳年 · 1885 · 小林鉄次郎 · 1 picture

This is a Japanese woodblock print from 1885 by Yoshitoshi, published by Kobayashi Tetsujiro, from the Musha Muragata series of warrior pictures aimed at a general collecting audience. The print shows a heroic warrior in a red-lined robe and armour in a stormy sea, with a boat tossed in the breaking waves behind him; a designer can take its bold diagonal composition, strong contrast of dark robes against pale surging water, and the decorative patterned background.
