恋合端唄尽 小さん・金五郎(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1860 · 若与 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from 1860 by Toyokuni, published by Wakayo, showing a kabuki-style pair of figures from a collected picture album, meant for connoisseurs of ukiyo-e portraiture. The image shows a woman in a blue and white checked kimono with a red collar beside a man holding an open fan, set against columns of hand-lettered calligraphy, offering a designer strong examples of vertical text layout, patterned textiles and tight figure-ground contrast.
