Tsukioka Kôgyo was a woodblock print artist of the Meiji period, known especially for his multiple series depicting characters and scenes from the Noh theatre.
His largest Noh series is known as Nôgaku zue ("Pictures of Noh"). Published in Tokyo in 1897-1902, it consists of images representing 261 plays from the Noh repertoire, bound into five orihon (accordion book) albums. He later produced three other such series: Kyôgen gojûban, fifty images from the kyôgen theatre, bound into a single volume; a second five-volume set of Noh images entitled Nô taikan; and a final set of one hundred images called Nô hyakuban.
