About the Item

A Japanese Edo period "Noh" theater mask from the 17th to 19th century. Created in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868), this mask captures our attention with its striking expression and contrasting colors. Noh, a form of theater involving music, dance and drama and originating in the 14th century, uses masks to represent roles such as ghosts, women, children, and the elderly. Boasting a nicely weathered appearance, this Edo period Noh mask will make for an excellent conversation piece in any home!

Japanese Antique Edo Hand Carved Wood Noh Theater Mask Otobide 17th-18th Century
Located in Studio City, CA
A truly beautiful, wonderfully aged, alluring mask made for Japanese Noh theater. The naturally faded beauty and unique character drew us to this mask immediately. The mask is handcrafted and hand-carved from natural wood, clearly by a master of his trade. We believe this mask is of the Noh theatre character Otobide. This mask dates back to the Edo Period (1603-1868). It comes with a wooden storage box (which may have been added at a later date). A rare, unique, and exquisite mask. Finely carved and executed. Would be a great addition to any Japanese or Asian art/artifacts collection or an eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting. Mask dimensions: 7.7" high, 5.7" wide, 2.1" deep...
