Shibai kinmō zui : Volume 2 / Shikitei Sanba cho ; Katsukawa Shun'ei, Utagawa Toyokuni ga
Shibai kinmō zui volume 2 is a Japanese woodblock-printed illustrated book of kabuki actors, written by Shikitei Sanba with pictures by Katsukawa Shun'ei and Utagawa Toyokuni, published in Edo in 1806 for theatre lovers. Its pages pair full-length standing actor figures in costume with columns of handwritten Japanese text, and the sparse line work, flat patterned robes and stylised poses offer a designer clear examples of Edo-period graphic layout and costume pattern.
