Scene from Japanese Noh Drama, Eguchi
Scene from the Japanese Noh Drama, Eguchi - the yokyoku (noh song) Eguchi is thought to have been composed by the priest Ikkyu-Zenji. It is a dream fantasy, about a Buddhist priest on a pilgrimage, who sees a vision of a woman who died some years earlier, enjoying a boat ride on a stream running through Osaka by the light of the moon. As he watches, the boat transforms into a white elephant, and the woman transforms into a spirit and floats away. The scene shown here comes at the climax of the drama, just before the woman transforms. It was performed at the Kyoto Nogakuden

EDITORS COMMENTS
This scene is taken from the Japanese Noh Drama, Eguchi, a yokyoku (noh song) believed to have been composed by the renowned priest Ikkyu-Zenji. The dream fantasy unfolds the story of a Buddhist priest on a pilgrimage, who encounters a vision of a woman who had passed away some years prior. In this moment, captured in the photo print, the woman is seen enjoying a tranquil boat ride on a moonlit stream running through Osaka. The serene atmosphere of the scene is heightened by the traditional Japanese costumes, with the performer wearing an elegant kimono and oriental headpiece. As the audience watches, the woman's boat transforms into a magnificent white elephant, and she metamorphoses into a spirit, floating gracefully away. This climactic moment from the drama was performed at the Kyoto Nogakuden, a renowned theatre for traditional Japanese performing arts. The Noh Theatre, with its rich history and cultural significance, has long been a source of fascination for those interested in the arts and history of Japan. The intricate costumes, the subtle movements, and the hauntingly beautiful music all come together to create an unforgettable experience. The scene depicted in this print is a testament to the timeless beauty and mystique of Japanese Noh Drama, a living tradition that continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists to this day.
