Tsukioka Kogyo Japanese Woodblock Print of Noh Drama Scene with Artist Biography

Product ID: 242052192

Description

This exquisite Japanese Woodblock Print by Tsukioka Kōgyo (月岡 耕漁, 1869–1927) captures the elegance of Noh drama. Kōgyo, a notable figure of the Meiji and Taishō periods, was renowned for his depictions of Noh theater, drawing from his training under the legendary ukiyo-e master Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. His works are celebrated for their intricate details and vibrant colors, though this print exhibits some attributes typical of age, including overall toning and small spots of foxing. Measuring 13 x 10 1/2 inches, with the image itself at 11 x 8 1/4 inches, it is framed in a faux-bamboo style display. Authentic from the late 19th or early 20th century, it holds the red artist's seal, affirming its worth to collectors of Japanese art. This piece is a treasure for any admirer of traditional theater and print artistry.
