寺岡平右衛門(収載資料名:豊国画帖)
A Japanese woodblock print from 1858 by the artist Toyokuni, collected in an album of his drawings and published for a general audience of theatre and print buyers. The image shows a kabuki actor in a dark blue kimono with a patterned sash, glaring downward, while a second framed portrait of a costumed man sits in a swarm of flying insects above him. Designers might take its bold figure silhouette, strong blue and green palette, and the rhythm of small scattered motifs against open paper space.
