Item Description: This exquisite Japanese woodblock print is from the renowned Nōga Taikan (能畫大鑑) series, featuring the Noh play Kamo (賀茂). Created by Tsukioka Kōgyo (月岡耕漁), a master of Meiji-era woodblock printmaking, the artwork beautifully captures a serene moment with refined detail and elegance. The print depicts a female character from the Kamo performance, adorned in a richly patterned red kimono, seated gracefully before a ceremonial setup under stylized pine trees. Tsukioka Kōgyo's work is celebrated for its atmospheric depth and faithful representation of traditional Noh theatre, combining classical Japanese aesthetics with fine compositional balance. Synopsis of the Noh Play "Kamo": In the play, a Shinto priest from the Muro Shrine in Harima Province visits Kyoto and makes a pilgrimage to the Kamo Shrine, believed to enshrine the same deity. There, he notices a sacred altar with a white-feathered arrow and asks local women about its origin. One woman recounts the legend of a divine arrow that caused the miraculous birth of a child, who was later revealed to be the thunder god, Wakeikazuchi-no-kami. The woman, later revealed to be a deity herself, vanishes. A tutelary deity appears, dances, and eventually, the ancestral goddess descends in the form of a celestial maiden, performing a sacred dance. Finally, Wakeikazuchi-no-kami appears, summons a storm, and ascends to the heavens, ending the mystical tale.
