Atsumori (敦盛 / あつもり), also known as the Jūroku (十六) variant, is a classic young warrior mask that captures the tragic beauty and impermanence of youthful nobility in Noh theater. Drawn from Zeami’s Muromachi-period play Atsumori and the Tale of the Heike, the mask portrays the ghost of Taira no Atsumori, the refined sixteen-year-old Heike noble slain in battle. It expresses the poignant blend of poetic refinement, bravery, and quiet melancholy characteristic of shura-nō warrior plays. • Character: Atsumori (敦盛 / あつもり) – Jūroku-type young men’s mask • Period: Heisei period, dated 1994 • Maker: Stamped Abe Kosen 阿部胡泉 • Material: Carved wood with original silk storage bag • Dimensions: approx. 20.5 × 13.5 × 7 cm • Weight: 142 grams • Condition: Fair condition showing natural patina and minor age-related blemishes • Accessories: Mask and silk bag In person, the mask’s gentle eyes, and subtly formed mouth convey serene youthful refinement that can shift toward quiet melancholy with small changes in lighting and angle.
