Aisomegawa, from the series "Pictures of No Performances (Nogaku Zue)" 1898

"Aisomegawa" (1898) is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Tsukioka Kôgyo (1869-1927). This print is part of the series "Pictures of No Performances (Nogaku Zue)" which depicts scenes from traditional Japanese Noh theater. The print features a central figure of a masked performer suspended on a platform, surrounded by other figures. The vibrant colors and detailed lines showcase Kôgyo's mastery of the ukiyo-e style and convey the drama and grandeur of the Noh theater. It is now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago.
