EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Uta-ura, 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 male performer, Hanyu Sadanosuke, in full costume and makeup, ready to grace the stage with his talent. The color woodblock print beautifully captures every intricate detail of the actor's attire and expression. The rich hues and delicate lines bring life to this historical moment, offering a glimpse into Japan's artistic heritage. During the Meiji era, Noh theater was highly regarded as a traditional form of entertainment that combined drama, music, dance, and poetry. This particular piece is part of a series dedicated to capturing these no performances on paper. Kogyo Tsukioka skillfully conveys not only the physical appearance but also the essence of Sadanosuke's character through this artwork. His posture exudes confidence and poise while his eyes convey deep emotion. As we admire this remarkable piece at the Art Institute Chicago or any art gallery fortunate enough to house it, we are reminded of how art transcends time and space. It allows us to connect with different cultures and appreciate their unique expressions. Through Uta-ura from "Pictures of No Performances". Kogyo Tsukioka invites us into an enchanting world where history meets creativity—a testament to both his artistic prowess and Japan
