The website “Kyogen in Pictures,” operated by Gakuji Books, uses the TCD theme “Muum.” Additionally, the Gakuji Books corporate website also employs a TCD theme (which won 4th place at the TCD AWARD 2023).
“Kyogen in Pictures” is a web column that clearly conveys the appeal of Japan’s traditional performing art, Kyogen, through illustrations and commentary. Whether you’re new to the world of Kyogen or already familiar with it, you’ll enjoy new discoveries and surprises.
We wanted to create a lively, soft-toned page that anyone could enjoy casually, so we selected the “Muum” theme for this site. We felt “Muum” was the ideal design for this column, as it allows for effective placement of illustrations and neatly displays the profiles of multiple authors.
“Drawing Kyogen” shares the appeal of Kyogen, a traditional performing art often unfamiliar to many, through approachable illustrations and thoughtful explanations. Its well-balanced content structure, combining illustrations and text, presents the world of classical performing arts—which can seem complex—in a more accessible and understandable way.
Furthermore, the WordPress theme “Muum” used features a highly visible layout and soft design, making it highly compatible with illustration-based content and well-suited for managing information from multiple authors. Additionally, its widget functionality allows for the clear placement of sections like “Recent Posts” and “Categories,” facilitating smooth access to information tailored to user interests.
Furthermore, the “Related Articles” section automatically displayed at the bottom of each article page provides a natural pathway to guide readers to the next piece of content, helping to improve site navigation.
The site structure and theme characteristics are skillfully leveraged to maximize the appeal of the content. Please take a look.
