About the Item
An authentic Japanese Tengu mask dating to the Edo period (19th century), traditionally associated with Noh theater and classical Japanese performing arts. The mask is hand-carved from wood, displaying strong, expressive features characteristic of Tengu imagery, including the elongated nose and intense facial expression.
Tengu masks represent supernatural beings from Japanese folklore, often depicted as powerful, ambiguous figures embodying both protective and disruptive qualities. In Noh theater, such masks were used to convey dramatic presence, spiritual authority, and transformation.
The surface shows natural aging and patina consistent with its age and use, enhancing its historical character and authenticity. Subtle carving marks remain visible, reflecting the hand-crafted nature of the work and the skill of the original artisan.
This piece stands as a compelling example of Edo-period theatrical craftsmanship and Japanese sculptural tradition, suitable for collectors of Asian art, masks, or theatrical artifacts.

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...
