Nogaku Hyakuban (One Hundred Noh Dramas) is a seminal collection of woodblock prints created by the Japanese artist Tsukioka Kogyo (1869-1927). Published between 1897 and 1902, this series is celebrated for its detailed and evocative depictions of Noh theatre, a classical Japanese performance art that combines elements of dance, drama, music, and poetry. Tsukioka Kogyo, a prominent figure in the world of ukiyo-e and a student of the renowned artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, dedicated his career to capturing the essence of Noh, an art form that dates back to the 14th century.

The collection comprises 120 prints, each illustrating a different Noh play. Kogyo's work is noted for its meticulous attention to detail, vibrant colors, and the ability to convey the ethereal and spiritual qualities of Noh performances. His prints often depict key scenes from the plays, showcasing the elaborate costumes, masks, and the stylized movements of the actors. Through his art, Kogyo not only preserved the visual aspects of Noh theatre but also contributed to its appreciation and understanding among audiences who might not have had the opportunity to experience it firsthand.

Nogaku Hyakuban is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its role in documenting and preserving Japanese cultural heritage. At a time when Japan was rapidly modernizing and Western influences were becoming more prevalent, Kogyo's work served as a reminder of the country's rich traditional arts. Today, these prints are highly valued by collectors and scholars alike, offering a window into the world of Noh theatre and the broader cultural landscape of Meiji-era Japan. The collection remains an important resource for those studying Japanese art, theatre, and history.
