白井権八(収載資料名:豊国画帖)
A Japanese woodblock print from 1860 by the artist Toyokuni, issued as part of a picture album, showing a kabuki actor in character. The image is a single bold portrait of a man in a straw hat and rust-brown kimono with a sword at his waist, set against a dark blue ground with a patterned umbrella. A designer could take its strong flat colour blocks, the bold outlines, and the dramatic diagonal of the umbrella as a composition model.
