About the Item
Presenting a captivating Menburyu mask, originating from Saga Prefecture's traditional temple drama theater in Japan. This particular mask represents the character of Furyu, a male evil spirit. Crafted with meticulous care, it is made from Camphor wood adorned with lacquer and paint. These extraordinary masks were exclusively crafted in Saga Prefecture, utilizing ancient Camphor trees that had thrived in the temple area for hundreds of years. Skilled artisans, specializing in mask carving, create these unique pieces from trees that have already reached the end of their natural lifespan.
This Menburyu mask bears the signature of Kajiwara Ichiryu, a renowned mask carver hailing from Saga Prefecture. His expertise and mastery shine through in the intricately carved details of this exceptional mask.
Dating back to the 20th century, this Menburyu mask possesses dimensions of 33x17x14cm (13 x 6.7 x 5.5 inches), making it a substantial yet manageable piece. It weighs a mere 460g (1lb), adding to its ease of display and handling.
Crafted from Camphor wood and adorned with Yak hair and lacquer, this mask showcases a remarkable combination of materials. The use of natural materials and meticulous craftsmanship contribute to its authentic and captivating appearance. Although it is in good condition overall, some minor abrasions can be observed, as depicted in the accompanying photographs.
For international buyers, it is important to note that import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item's price or shipping fees. These additional costs are the sole responsibility of the buyer. To ensure a smooth transaction, we recommend consulting with your country's customs office to determine the applicable charges before placing a bid or making a purchase.
