About the Item
A beautiful, wonderfully crafted, alluring mask made for Japanese Noh theater.
This mask is handcrafted and hand-carved from natural wood and signed/sealed by the maker on the underside.
This mask is the mask of Waka-Onna - or young beautiful woman. It may be that of Ko-omote. 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 and the fashion for Japanese women to paint their teeth black.
We believe this mask dates from the Early to the mid-Showa period (1926-1989), perhaps Mejia.
Would be a great addition to any Japanese or Asian artifacts or art collection or eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting.
Dimensions: 8.5" high, 5.5" wide, 3" deep.
