About the Item

Japanese Noh Mask was crafted at early Edo period. The Japanese Noh Mask depicting Zou-onna that you are considering is an excellent example of a mask that would be used in a Noh play. The mask represents a female deity or woman of high rank, and its intricate details would be visible to the audience even from a distance and is associated with Noh plays such as Hagoromo and Ohara Miyuki. One of the standout features of this mask is its rarity. It's an early example of a Noh Mask depicting Zou-onna, which makes it a true treasure for collectors of antique Japanese art. The mask is made from wood with gofun paint, which is a traditional Japanese paint made from crushed seashells. This gives the mask a unique texture and appearance that adds to its overall beauty. Despite its age, the mask is in good condition, with only minor abrasions that can be seen in the photos. It's clear that this piece has been well cared for over the years, and it still retains its original beauty and charm. Overall, this mask is a true work of art that is both beautiful and culturally significant, and it's a must-have for anyone who loves antique Japanese art. Noh Theater is a form of traditional Japanese theater that has been performed for centuries. It's known for its use of elaborate costumes and masks, as well as its slow, rhythmic movements and haunting music. In a Noh play, the actors wear masks and costumes that are carefully chosen to represent the characters they are playing. The masks are an essential part of the performance and are often seen as representing the essence of the character. Each mask is crafted with great care and attention to detail, and they are often passed down through generations of performers.

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 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...
