Kogyo Tsukioka Canvas Wall Art

Kōgyo was most known for his paintings of the Japanese theater. He began with producing large-scale paintings of noh theater, and later progressed to colored woodblock prints that were pieced together in series. Some were produced in binding techniques such as orihon, which is a type of accordion folding binding, or yamato toji, which is sewing. The majority of these bound sets are institutional collections, but some individual prints by Kōgyo can still be bought through dealers specializing in Japanese prints.
