EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Haku Rakuten, from the series 'Pictures of No Performances (Nogaku Zue)', 1898" takes us back to the enchanting world of traditional Japanese theater. Created by Kogyo Tsukioka, a renowned artist of the Meiji era, this woodblock print captures the essence of Noh drama with its intricate details and expressive portrayal. In this scene, we find ourselves backstage in a bustling dressing room. Haku Rakuten, one of Japan's esteemed actors, stands before us in his elaborate costume and mask. The vibrant colors used in this colour woodblock print bring life to his attire as he prepares for his performance. Surrounded by assistants and fellow performers, Haku Rakuten exudes an air of confidence and poise. The meticulous attention given to every aspect - from the folds in his dress to the expression on his masked face - showcases Tsukioka's artistic skill. As we gaze upon this historic image captured over a century ago, we are transported into a different time and place. We can almost hear the sounds of traditional music filling the playhouse as Haku Rakuten steps onto stage to mesmerize audiences with his talent. This remarkable piece is not just a mere photograph; it is an exquisite work of art that allows us to appreciate both the beauty and cultural significance of Noh theater during Japan's Meiji period.
