Archival Note Card | Noh Drama | #8

A figure with a flaming red mane strides in a robe patterned with swirls.

This noh drama archival note card. It is paper. Kogyo Tsukioka, who worked in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, is widely known for woodblock prints that recorded scenes and roles from Noh plays. A figure wears a gold crowned mask framed by a long orange-red mane, with a black and white patterned jacket and an orange skirt of swirling circles. A white trailing ribbon curls at the lower left on a pale ground. It is 5 inches long and 6.75 high.

A mane that clearly never heard of subtlety.
