【Product details】
Immerse yourself in the spirited world of traditional Japanese comedy with this 20th-century Kyogen mask, named Kentoku. Kyogen, a classical Japanese comic theater form, vividly portrays the lighter side of everyday medieval life through witty dialogues and satirical sketches. Unlike Noh, which often features masks and solemn narratives, Kyogen primarily relies on unmasked performances, humorously reflecting on the universal absurdities of human behavior. However, masks like Kentoku are used to represent animals, deities, or spirits in certain plays.
The defining feature of this mask is its upward-slanting pupils, giving it a unique and lively character. Kentoku is a versatile mask, skillfully crafted to personify various animals, from horses to cows to dogs, simply by changing its headgear. The mask exudes a more approachable and playful expression compared to the more somber Noh masks.
This piece, accompanied by a fabric mask bag, shows signs of age with some wear and staining, which are well-documented in the photographs provided. Note that a stand is not included.
Dimensions of Mask: approx. H 19.7 cm W 13.9 cm L 7.5 cm
Dimensions of Bag: approx. H 33 cm W 21.5 cm
