About the Item
Kashikobito (賢人)
This mask is used in Noh theater to represent a wise person or an intelligent young boy. This type of mask is associated with characters who are young, noble, and possessing great wisdom despite their youth.
The Kashikobito mask typically has soft, refined features, with a calm expression that exudes intelligence and grace. It is often used in plays where the character is a young boy of noble birth, known for his wisdom or spiritual depth.
This mask, with its delicate expression and serene demeanor, highlights the contrast between the character’s youth and their elevated intellectual or moral qualities.
"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."
