EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sarusato, from the series 'Pictures of No Performances (Nogaku Zue)', 1898" takes us back to the vibrant world of traditional Japanese theater. Created by Kogyo Tsukioka, a renowned artist of the Meiji era, this artwork showcases his exceptional talent in capturing the essence of Noh performances. In this particular piece, we are introduced to Sarusato, a character portrayed by actor Hanyu Sadanosuke. The intricate details and vivid colors bring life to this theatrical moment frozen in time. The actor's elaborate head dress and traditional costume reflect the rich cultural heritage of Japan. Tsukioka's mastery in woodblock printing is evident through the fine grain and meticulous craftsmanship displayed here. Each stroke contributes to an overall sense of movement and drama that permeates throughout the image. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, we are transported into a realm where humans interact with animals and mythical creatures coexist with reality. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations when it comes to storytelling. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this remarkable piece stands as a testament to Tsukioka's contribution to Japanese artistic traditions. Its presence within their collection further solidifies its significance as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical artifact from 19th-century Japan.
