濡衣女鳴神 近江八勇の内比良(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1858 · 辻岡屋 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from 1858 by Utagawa Toyokuni, published by Tsujiokaya, part of a picture album of Edo-period actor portraits and warrior subjects. The image shows a samurai-style figure in a blue patterned kimono with a checked plaid under-robe, holding a tall bow and a sword, set against a dark background with a small framed cartouche of text at top left. A designer might take the bold flat colour blocks, the strong diagonal of the bow, and the decorative framing panels for graphic layouts.
