A Noh Theater Actor – Carved Wood, Japan, 1930–50 #175
A theater actor playing the role of an old man—These are the plays titled “Okina,” performed during the New Year or on special occasions. The original model of the old man’s mask is believed to date back to the late Heian period (12th century). This design predates all other types of Noh masks.
A fan is missing from the right hand—there is a small chip on the leg guards. The facial features and painted decoration are rendered in great detail.
