英皎うとふ一調 七綾太夫・善知治郎安方(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1859 · 海老林 · 1 picture

A Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print from 1859, made by the artist Toyokuni and published by Ebayashi, drawn for a collector's picture album known as an ehon. Two figures in elaborate hair ornaments and patterned kimono fill the sheet, with a dark blue ground and a black cartouche of title characters at upper left. A designer could take the bold contrast of deep indigo, red and gold accents, and the tightly cropped close-up figures.
