南郷力丸 芝翫 (収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1861 · 鍵庄 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print album sheet by Utagawa Toyokuni, published in 1861 by Kagiya, showing a kabuki actor portrait for a Japanese readership. The picture shows a bearded-looking actor's face under a large spotted leopard-pelt costume, with bamboo stalks and a calligraphic cartouche beside it; a designer might take its bold patterned leopard spots, flat colour blocks and vertical text panel layout.
