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 ''[[bookbinding|orihon]]'' (accordion book) albums. He later produced three other such series: ''Kyôgen gojûban'', fifty images from the ''[[kyogen|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''.
