EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hyakuman, 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, capturing the essence of this traditional art form. Intricately detailed and richly colored, this woodblock print depicts a male actor dressed as a female character, known as an onnagata or oyama. Adorned in exquisite clothing and an elaborate mask, he embodies grace and elegance with every movement. The artist's skillful portrayal captures both the physical beauty and emotional depth that are integral to Noh theater. The playfulness of cross-dressing is evident in this image, challenging societal norms while celebrating artistic expression. It offers insight into Japan's cultural heritage and its unique theatrical traditions that have captivated audiences for centuries. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Asian Art collection, this piece exemplifies Kogyo Tsukioka's mastery in ukiyo-e printing technique. Through his work, he immortalizes not only individual performers but also their dedication to preserving Japan's theatrical legacy. As we gaze upon Hyakuman’s striking presence frozen in time through Tsukioka’s lens, we are reminded of the enduring power of art to transcend boundaries and transport us into different realms.
