濡衣女鳴神 近江八勇の内矢橋(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1858 · 辻岡屋 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print album sheet from 1858, published by Tsujiokaya and made by the artist Toyokuni, probably for collectors of actor portraits and the Edo-period print market. The image shows a kabuki actor in a striped patterned robe holding a sword, set against a small inset landscape of a shoreline with boats, with bold outlines, flat colour fields, and dense patterned textiles a designer could study for stripe and kimono motif work.
