百種接分菊(収載資料名:国芳豊国画帖)

一勇斎国芳 · 伊豆善 · 3 pictures

A Japanese woodblock print series of Edo-period ukiyo-e, made by the artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi and published by Izuya, collected in a picture album of his work with Toyokuni. The three prints show crowds of townspeople viewing a large chrysanthemum display, with trees dressed in hanging paper strips and blossoms; a designer could take from them the dense patterning of chrysanthemum blooms and white paper streamers against green foliage, and the layered groupings of figures in patterned kimono.
