Description
This is a Japanese wooden Noh mask, signed on the back and accompanied by a traditional cloth bag. Noh masks are essential in classical Japanese theater, symbolizing refined expressions and deep cultural heritage.
This piece is in an unfinished state: the facial carving has been carefully and fully executed, but it has not been coated with gofun (white pigment) or painted. Because of this, the mask clearly shows the raw wooden form and carving process, offering valuable insight into the artistry and stages of traditional mask-making.
