RATING
A very unique and realistic Kojo Okina Noh Mask from the Edo Era. Signed on the reverse it has an imposing presence of a Kojo (old man) used in Kyogen Noh Theatre performances.
The “Kojo” mask is worn by the actor portraying the old man in the first part of “Takasago” and in other Noh plays. The mask, embodying dignity and divinity, foreshadows the old man’s appearance in the second part as a god. Noh Theatre grew in popularity during the Muromachi period (1336-1573) and is still performed today throughout Japan.
Approximate Dimensions – Height 23 cm width (ear to ear) 22 cm.
