The body is wrapped in a purple robe patterned with hexagons and small clouds, layered under a gold-patterned collar and a dark blue outer drape scattered with round crests. The lowered left hand holds a thin red cord, and voluminous trousers below are patterned with a bold red and gold zigzag. Swirling wave lines fill the grey background.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTsukioka Kōgyo (1869–1927) devoted almost his whole career to a single subject: the Noh theatre. A pupil and later adopted relation of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, he trained in both ukiyo-e and Japanese-style painting, then spent three decades designing print series — above all Nōgaku zue (Pictures of Noh, 1897–1902) and the later Nōgaku hyakuban — that record the plays as staged. His figures float on plain grey or lavender grounds, the costume patterns printed with great delicacy, so that the mask and the robe carry the drama. His prints are held by the Rijksmuseum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
