$9.99 Shipping Location: Freeport, United States Here is an interesting piece! The Japanese. Discard and put a drastically reduced price on anything blemished, damaged or otherwise. Conversely. Any real, ... moreused, NOH masks are in Museums or have price tags of several hundred thousand dollars in the hands of private collectors. This one. Appears to represent both. everything about this mask attests to it being used, and authentic, but as one can see its a bit damaged. What attests to its authentic use as a NOH mask? First. masks that are meant to be danced have this smooth. Shiny, protective lacquered coating on the reverse side to protect the wearer's face Second. One can readily see where the straps have worn away, by way of being jostled around, the painted hair on the edge of the mask evidencing it being worn The straps also have discoloration from sweat of the performer and over the years have become a bit stiff in these areas as its accelerated the aging of the straps in these areas Third. The craftsmanship is astounding. look at how thinly carved the mask is! see the last picture showing the thinness of the carving compared to an American quarter) Fourth the back of the mask is recessed to ergonomically fit the wearer's nose. Eyes etc. I am a big proponent in judging these NOH masks by how detailed and well carved the teeth are. this one represents well. Noh masks have to be very light because they are worn throughout a performance that lasts for several hours. They are carved from one piece of cypress wood. After the masks has been carved to the desired thickness. Holes for eyes, nose and mouth have been cut, it is then coated with layers of gofun. Its also made of Gofun as it should be. Gofun being a combination of animal-bone-based-glue and crushed oyster shells that are indicative of these masks for hundreds of years The symmetric are amazing. my camera was trying to facially recognize the item as I was taking pictures. I love the expression captured in the character's eyebrows. subtle. But a difficult item to capture and carve Sig
