Kgyo Tsukioka ( ), sometimes called Sakamaki Kgyo ( ), (April 18, 1869 February 25, 1927) was a Japanese artist of the Meiji period. He was a student and adopted son of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, and also studied with Ogata Gekk. Although Kgyo sometimes painted other subjects, for most of his career he made pictures of Japanese noh theatre, either as large-scale paintings or colored woodblock prints. Many of the latter were published in series and sold as multi-volume... sets. Some sets, such as Ngaku zue, have been preserved as albums in their original bindings, including accordion-style bindings known as orihon, while other sets such as Nga taikan, were issued in sewn bindings known as yamato toji. Although most bound sets belong to institutional collections, individual prints by Kgyo can still be found through dealers specializing in Japanese prints. Kgyo Tsukioka.
