豊国 · 辻安 · 1 picture

This is a Japanese woodblock print triptych from the Edo period, published by Tsuji Yasu and drawn by Toyokuni, showing kabuki actors in costume for a theatre picture album. The scene shows three performers in blue, red and patterned kimono against a dark blue ground with pink blossoms, a design a textile or poster designer could draw on for bold colour pairings and layered patterned fabric.
