About the Item

Ko-omote The Ko-omote mask is most often used in Noh performances to depict young women of noble birth or spirits of young maidens. Characters portrayed with this mask are usually gentle, refined, and often in roles that involve romantic love, spiritual purity, or quiet resilience in the face of emotional challenges. The mask’s design features a slightly smiling mouth, gracefully arched eyebrows, and soft, subtle contours around the cheeks and forehead. These features create a youthful charm and a serene presence, suitable for roles where the character expresses quiet dignity, restraint, and emotional depth. ---- This collection of masks, although unsigned, is attributed to the renowned Noh mask maker Takada Fuki (高田冨季, 1935–2008). Known for his exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail, Takada Fuki was a prominent figure in the world of Noh mask making, capturing the spirit and emotion of each character through his finely crafted works. Fuki trained under the esteemed master Hori Yasemon (堀安右衛門, 1899–1976), a celebrated artist in Noh mask-making, recognized for his meticulous technique and profound understanding of traditional Japanese theater. Through Yasemon’s teachings, Fuki mastered the intricate art of Noh mask making, combining the traditional style with his personal artistic touch. Fuki’s masks are highly regarded for their expressiveness and ability to convey deep emotional resonance on stage, continuing to be an integral part of Noh performances today. His legacy, shaped by the tutelage of Hori Yasemon, remains influential in the craft of Noh mask making.
