EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Nishikido, from the series 'Pictures of No Performances (Nogaku Zue)', 1898" takes us back to the vibrant world of Japanese theater in the late 19th century. Created by Kogyo Tsukioka, a renowned artist of that era, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of traditional Noh performances. In this image, we see a male performer named Nishikido in an elegant and poised posture. With his legs crossed and dressed in elaborate costume, he exudes an air of grace and dignity. The color woodblock print technique used here adds depth and richness to every intricate detail. The Meiji Era was a time when Japan experienced rapid modernization, but it also witnessed a revival of interest in its cultural heritage. This piece reflects both aspects as it showcases the artistry and craftsmanship associated with Noh theater while embracing contemporary printing techniques. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork at the Art Institute Chicago or any other art gallery fortunate enough to house it, we are transported into another time and place. We can almost hear the haunting melodies and feel the intensity emanating from Nishikido's performance on stage. Kogyo Tsukioka's mastery shines through as he skillfully captures not just a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions that transcend centuries. This piece serves as a testament to Japan's rich artistic legacy and reminds us of how theater has always been an integral part of human expression
