More about this artwork

This painting by Kogyo Tsukioka, titled "Actor In The No Play Hanagatami," beautifully captures the essence and elegance of a traditional Noh theater actor. In this artwork, the actor is depicted in full Noh attire, characterized by the refined and intricate details of the costume.The actor stands poised and dignified against a vibrant coral background, wearing a wide-brimmed, black lacquered hat, which is typical in Noh plays to signify rank or character type. The face is painted in a subtle, serene manner, reflecting the mask-like makeup often used in Noh performances to convey a broad range of emotions and expressions through minimalistic gestures.The actor's kimono is richly detailed. The upper garment is white with an intricate pattern of clouds and waves, suggesting a connection to natural elements, which are significant in many Noh plays. The obi (sash) around the waist is a darker shade, providing a visual anchor for the attire.
