見立月雪花 小原左七(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1859 · 木屋 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from 1859 attributed to Toyokuni, published by Kiya, issued as a picture-album leaf for a general audience of collectors and print readers. The image shows a man in a blue patterned kimono raising a dagger over a kneeling woman with an elaborate hairpin, set against a deep blue ground with a pale moon-like disc; a designer might take its bold indigo patterning, strong diagonal pose, and tight figure-ground contrast.
