馬かた小仏藤六・最明寺時頼入道(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1858 · 団仙堂 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from the Toyokuni picture album, published in 1858 by Dansendō, made for a general audience of collectors and playgoers. Two figures in the foreground are set against a night sky with calligraphic verse in a cartouche, and the bold outlines, flat colour blocks and dramatic close framing offer a designer strong examples of graphic composition and bold, reduced colour.
