Fifty Kyogen Plays - Handsome design from a rarely seen series by Tsukioka Kogyo and his daughter, Tsukioka Gyokusei, depicting fifty kyogen plays. Kyogen is a traditional form of Japanese comic theater, often performed during the intermissions of Noh plays and designed primarily to make audiences laugh. Actors use exaggerated actions and dialogue, along with slapstick and satire in their roles. These lively images capture the colorful characters from kyogen plays and the amusing antics of actors onstage. A rarely seen series and a great choice for a collector interested in traditional forms of Japanese theater.
