梅暦見立八勝人 一 男達小松曳の子之介(収載資料名:豊国画帖)
A Japanese woodblock print from 1859, published by Ebiya and made by the artist Toyokuni, as part of a picture album of kabuki actor portraits. The bust-length portrait shows a costumed man with a shaved pate and a fierce stare, set against a red and cream ground with a column of calligraphic text on the upper left. A designer could take its bold flat colour blocks, the dense patterned kimono with fan and wave motifs, and the strong vertical text panel.
