Abstract

This research aims to examine the presentation of Inao during the reign of King Chulalongkorn, as well as to analyse the significance of such Inao works towardthe Inao tradition.The article finds thatduring thatperiod, the Inao theme was presented in many kinds of art and cultural works in both traditional and new ways. The Inao works created at that time not only demonstrate that the reign of King Chulalongkorn was “a golden age” of Inao in Thailand, but also mark a significant turning point for Inao culture in many parts, including popularity, the forms and presentation, the style of performing art, the versions of Inao, andInao studies, indicating that the reign of King Chulalongkorn was “a transitional period” of the Inao tradition.
