Japanese Okame Ko-Omote Wood Carved Noh Theater Mask
Located in Studio City, CA
A beautiful, wonderfully crafted, alluring mask made for Japanese Noh theatre. This mask is handcrafted and carved from natural wood. Ko-omote translates as "little mask" or sometimes "small face." This particular delicate featured mask (her red lips really stand out) is used for main and sometimes secondary roles when the character is a young girl or, in some cases, a supernatural being. What is also interesting about this mask is the blackened teeth which centuries ago, was customary for Japanese women to paint their teeth black after they became married. We believe this mask dates from the mid-to early Showa period, perhaps Mejia. The mask was acquired from an antique mask...

Japanese Old Clay Doll / Mingei
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
An old Japanese clay doll. This is probably a "Hirota Doll" made in Yamagata Prefecture in the Tohoku region. Until around the 1950s, Japan's economy was not as prosperous as it is today. It was difficult for an ordinary household to have a complete display of Hina dolls, and only a very limited number of households could afford to buy them. It seems that ordinary people would celebrate by displaying clay dolls, tile dolls, and paper mache dolls...
