About the Item

A beautiful, wonderfully crafted, quite engaging mask made for Japanese Kyogen Noh theatre. This mask is quite rare much like the Kitsune fox mask which this is sometimes confused for. It looks like a fox, but this is a Kyogen raccoon mask (sometimes referred to as a raccoon dog mask). It is used by players in the latter half of the performance "Tanuki no Haratsuzumi." The mask is highlighted with a moveable mouth, a long snout, and sharp fearsome teeth. It is an exceptional piece. The mask is handcrafted and hand-carved from natural wood and is signed and sealed by the maker on the verso. From the mid to later Showa Period (1926-1989). A special, scarce, and hard-to-find mask. Would be a great addition to any Japanese or Asian art/mask/artifacts collection or make for an eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting. Mask dimensions: 6.75" high, 5.5" wide, 5" deep.

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...
