Item Details
Description
The Woodblock Print
The woodblock print is in very good condition with its translucent title page attached. The print has minor edge wear, but nothing significant, while still having strong colors throughout.NÅga TaikanNÅga Taikan ("A Great Collection of Prints of Noh Plays") was published in Tokyo between 1925 and 1930 by Tsukioka KÅgyo. The original designs for Volumes 2 through 5 were drawn by KÅgyo, but the drawings for twenty-four of the prints in Volume 1 were created after KÅgyo’s death by Matsuno SÅfÅ«, KÅgyo’s very talented protégé.The five volumes of two hundred prints (forty in each volume) are covered in beige silk twill and the prints are tied into the bindings by silk cords, brads, and internal stitching.Each print is a scene from the noh play represented, similar to the same scene as it appeared on stage. The prints are very simple: the main actors at an important moment in the play, the artist’s signature, and the artist’s seal. The prints reveal at most few parts of the stage and its backdrop, and when so, only faintly. The prints do not reveal the name of the plays represented, but each print in all five volumes is preceded by a piece of translucent paper on which the title of the play, the actors by type (shite, waki, tsure, kyÅgen, kokata) and name of character in his role appear in Japanese.
