EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Kurama muko (Kyogen), from the series 'Pictures of No Performances (Nogaku Zue)', 1898" by Kogyo Tsukioka takes us back to the vibrant world of traditional Japanese theater. The image showcases a male actor, adorned in an intricately designed mask and costume, gesturing with his hands in a dramatic manner. The artist, Kogyo Tsukioka, was renowned for his skillful portrayal of actors and scenes from Noh and Kyogen plays during the Meiji era. This particular piece is part of his larger series called "Pictures of No Performances" which aimed to capture moments that were not typically seen on stage. In this print, we witness the artistry and attention to detail that went into creating these theatrical performances. The vivid colors and delicate lines characteristic of woodblock prints bring life to the character's expression and movements. Through this artwork, we are transported to a different time and place - a playhouse where stories unfold through mesmerizing performances. It serves as a reminder of Japan's rich cultural heritage and its enduring love for theater arts. As we admire this unique piece, let us appreciate the talent behind it - both Kogyo Tsukioka's artistic prowess as well as the skilled performers who brought these characters to life on stage over a century ago.
