恋合端唄尽 九重・おほう吉三(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, from a picture album of ehon subjects, showing two figures in a stylised theatrical manner. A kimono-clad woman with an elaborate hairstyle and red patterned robe leans toward a man in a blue striped and patterned kimono, with a column of cursive poetry text filling the upper space. A designer might take the dense interplay of calligraphy and figure, the patterned textiles and the restrained palette of indigo, red and cream.
