EDITORS COMMENTS
Arigayoi, from the series "Pictures of No Performances (Nogaku Zue)", 1898. Creator: Kogyo Tsukioka. This print captures a moment in Japanese theater history with its depiction of Arigayoi, a character from the traditional Noh drama. Created by Kogyo Tsukioka in 1898, this woodblock print showcases the artistry and skill of both the actor and the artist. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring Arigayoi to life, showcasing his elaborate costume and expressive facial features. The actor's full-length pose exudes grace and poise as he embodies this iconic character on stage. Tsukioka's work is part of the renowned "Pictures of No Performances (Nogaku Zue)" series, which sought to capture moments from Noh dramas that were not typically performed on stage. This unique approach allowed viewers to appreciate these characters outside their usual theatrical context. As we gaze upon this piece at the Art Institute Chicago or any other art gallery fortunate enough to house it, we are transported back to Meiji-era Japan. We can almost hear the haunting melodies and feel the intensity of emotions that would have accompanied Arigayoi's performance. Kogyo Tsukioka's contribution to Japanese art cannot be overstated. Through his masterful woodblock prints like this one, he preserved important aspects of traditional culture for future generations to admire and learn from.
