About Kgyo Tsukioka
- Tsukioka Kogyo (?? ??), sometimes called Sakamaki Kogyo (?? ??), (April 18, 1869 – February 25, 1927) was a Japanese artist of the Meiji period.
- He was a student and adopted son of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, and also studied with Ogata Gekko.
- Although Kogyo sometimes painted other subjects, for most of his career he made pictures of Japanese noh theatre, either as large-scale paintings or colored woodblock prints.
- Many of the latter were published in series and sold as multi-volume sets.
- Some sets, such as Nogaku zue, have been preserved as albums in their original bindings, including accordion-style bindings known as orihon, while other sets such as Noga taikan, were issued in sewn bindings known as yamato toji.
- Although most bound sets belong to institutional collections, individual prints by Kogyo can still be found through dealers specializing in Japanese prints.
