絵入稗史蕣物語 駒沢治郎左衛門・岩代多喜太・秋月娘深雪(収載資料名:俳優画帖)

豊国 · 辻安 · 1 picture

This is a Japanese woodblock print from an ehon picture book, attributed to the artist Toyokuni and published by Tsujiya, with a title naming actors in character roles. Its single picture shows three figures seated in an interior room with tatami and a paper lantern, one kneeling figure in the foreground with a long-handled fan or cloth. A designer might take its flat colour blocks, patterned kimono textiles, and tight interior composition as reference for stage-like layouts.
