当世好男子伝 揚志ニ比ス唐犬権兵衛(収載資料名:豊国画帖)
A Japanese woodblock print from a picture-book series, published by Hayashi Shō and made by the artist Toyokuni, probably in the Edo-to-Meiji period, with the title Tōsei kō otoko den, a series of portraits of fashionable men. The bust-length portrait shows a bare-headed man in a blue patterned kimono with a large pale crane or bird motif, holding a sheathed sword against a night sky of plum blossoms; a designer could take the bold outline, flat colour blocks, and dense patterned textile details as a reference for graphic pattern and bold portraiture.
