The series: 'A hundred Noh plays' (Nogaku hyakuban) |
This series of one hundred prints was published over a period of c. four years, from 1922-26,
and was sold monthly in envelopes containing three prints each. The series mainly consists
of single-sheet designs, but some are diptychs and triptychs. The publication was interrupted
for a year due to the great Kantô earthquake of September 1923, and then resumed in
August 1924. Recommended reading: Claus-Peter Schulz, The series Nogaku hykuban, in: "Andon", no. #67, Society for Japanese Arts, The Netherlands, October 2000. O'Neill, G.P., A guide to Noh, Tokyo/Kyoto, Hinoki Shoten, 1959. |
