EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tatsuta, from the series 'Pictures of No Performances (Nogaku Zue)', 1898" by Kogyo Tsukioka transports us to the vibrant world of Japanese theater in the late 19th century. The image showcases a mesmerizing scene from a Noh performance, an ancient form of traditional Japanese drama. The attention to detail and vivid colors in this woodblock print bring the characters to life. A male actor, Hanyu Sadanosuke, is depicted wearing an elaborate head dress and mask, exuding an air of mystery and intrigue. His full-length costume adds grandeur to his presence on stage. Surrounded by fellow performers, both men and women dressed in traditional attire, this snapshot captures a moment frozen in time during Meiji era Japan. The playhouse setting provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage that has been passed down through generations. Kogyo Tsukioka's artistic skill shines through as he masterfully portrays each character with precision and emotion. This piece serves as a testament to his contribution to ukiyo-e art - woodblock prints that were popular during this period. As we admire this remarkable artwork at the Art Institute Chicago or any other art gallery fortunate enough to house it, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and grace of Noh theater unfold before our eyes.
