About the Item
Jidō (児童)
This mask is used to represent a divine or supernatural child, often portrayed as a young boy with an otherworldly or divine presence. The Jidō mask depicts a youthful character, usually associated with purity, spiritual wisdom, or immortality.

This collection of masks, although unsigned, is attributed to the renowned Noh mask maker Takada Fuki (高田 冨季, 1935–2008). Known for his exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail, Takada Fuki was a prominent figure in the world of Noh mask making, capturing the spirit and emotion of each character through his finely crafted works. Fuki trained under the esteemed master Hori Yasemon (堀安右衛門, 1899–1976), a celebrated artist in Noh mask-making, recognized for his meticulous technique and profound understanding of traditional Japanese theater. Through Yasemon’s teachings, Fuki mastered the intricate art of Noh mask making, combining the traditional style with his personal artistic touch.
Fuki’s masks are highly regarded for their expressiveness and ability to convey deep emotional resonance on stage, continuing to be an integral part of Noh performances today. His legacy, shaped by the tutelage of Hori Yasemon, remains influential in the craft of Noh mask making.
