Archival Note Card | Noh Drama | #5 by Kogyo Tsukioka: Archer

A figure in white crouches beside a bare blossom branch with a bow in hand.

This noh drama archival note card is by Kogyo Tsukioka. It is paper. Archival paper is generally made to resist yellowing over time, and it suits reproductions of prints that were first made on fine handmade sheets. A man in a tall black cap and a loose white robe, with a patterned blue and gold jacket, kneels with a long bow. A plum branch crosses the pale grey ground at top right. A red seal sits at lower left. It is 5 inches long and 6.75 high.

Crisp whites and a very calm aim.
