This lot presents an original Japanese color woodblock print from the renowned “Noh Picture Encyclopedia”, depicting Naniwa Taiko, Kanze’s Divine Dance, a classical scene from Noh theatre. The composition shows elaborately costumed performers rendered with refined line work and controlled color application, characteristic of Meiji-period theatrical prints. The work is attributed to Tsukioka Kōgyo (月岡耕漁), a leading artist of Noh subjects, in collaboration with Matsuno Sofu (松野素風), whose involvement is documented in published editions of this series. The reverse includes printed explanatory text, consistent with encyclopedia-style Noh publications of the period. This example is offered unframed, mounted on a backing sheet, and remains a desirable reference piece for collectors of Japanese prints, Noh theatre iconography, and Meiji-period cultural works.
