About the Item

Yokihi is an original print realized by Tsukioka Kôgyo in 1923. Mixed colored woodblock print. This print is from the series "One Hundred No Dramas (Nogaku hyakuban)", printed by Matsuki Heikichi (seal on lower right) Signed Kōgyo (Japanese character) on lower right. On the lower right there is Kōgyo red seal which refers to the reference: no. 13, p. 170 in The Beauty of Silence: Nō and Nature Prints by Tsukioka Kōgyo (1869-1927), Robert Schaap & J. Thomas Rimer, Hotei Publishing, 2010. Good conditions except for very light stains along the margins. Include passepartout: 49.6 x 39.5 cm This precious print represents Yōkihi, the main character of the namesake play written by Komparu Zenchiku (1405-1470?), in which the Chinese Tang dynasty emperor Genshō grieves over his favorite mistress Yōhiki. The beautiful woman wears a precious red kimono decorated by floral motifs and gilded and silver insert. Kogyo Tsukioka (Tokio 1869-1927) was born in Tokyo in 1869 as Hanyu Sadanosuke. The adopted son of the famed ukiyo-e artist Yoshitoshi, Kogyo studied both painting and woodblock printing under him. He later studied with Gekko. Kogyo did a number of nature studies and Sino-Japanese war prints but is primarily known for his images of the Noh theatre, a traditional aristocratic form of Japanese performing arts. Unlike most classical ukiyo-e prints, his works have an almost painterly quality and use much gold and silver for the Noh costume embellishments. These prints often required very skill engravers and printers to produce.

Kinuta - Original Woodcut Print by Tsukioka Kôgyo - 1922
Located in Roma, IT
Kinuta is a wonderful color xylograph on paper, made by the Japanese master Tsukiota Kogyo (1869-1927). The artist's signature is in the red seal printed in the lower right corner "Tsukioka". From the series "One Hundred No Dramas" (Nogaku Hyakuban), published by Matsuki Heikichi (Daikokuya) and published in 1922. Kinuta is the wife of the prince of Ashiya, portrayed while she is ironing the laundry, beating a sort of fan so that the sound brings her wish to her husband in the distant capital. In excellent conditions, except for a little stain on the higher left margin, and some light decolorations, this original print preserves his freshness of line and colors. The texture of the princess's kimono has a precious golden hatch, and the artwork keeps still today the rare beauty and the incredible delicatessen inspired his creation, and in perfect syntony with the Japanese mood. Tsukioka Kōgyo, Sometimes called Sakamaki Kōgyo, (1869 - 1927) was a Japanese artist of the Meiji period, a student and adopted son of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, and also studied with Ogata Gekkō...
