Japanese Antique Edo Hand Carved Wood Noh Theater Mask Otobide 17th-18th Century
Japanese Antique Edo Hand Carved Wood Noh Theater Mask Otobide 17th-18th Century

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...

Japanese Okame Ko-Omote Noh Theater Mask Edo Period

Located in Studio City, CA

A truly beautiful, wonderfully aged, alluring mask made for Japanese Noh theater. The natural faded beauty and unique character drew us to this mask immediately. This mask is handcrafted and carved from natural wood and lacquer. 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 that remnants of the blackened teeth can still be seen. Centuries ago, it was customary for Japanese women to paint their teeth black after they were married. We believe this mask dates from the mid-late Edo period and thus quite rare. The mask was acquired from an antique mask...
