Description from the seller



Rare High quality Japanese traditional hand carved wooden Noh mask - Masukami増髪, finely carved with meticulous details.

Masukami (hair extension) Also written as Jusungami or Jusungami.
There are various theories as to whether it is messy hair extensions or hair with a false hair attached, but the generally accepted theory is that it was created as a mask of a goddess. Compared to the pure and lively Masume, it is a more active goddess.
It is used for a shrine maiden possessed by the spirit of Tatsutahime "Makikinu" from Miwa Myojin "Tatsuta" of Amaterasu Omikami "Miwa", who is the later shite of "Ema".

Dimensions: 21 x 13.5 x 6.5 cm

Good condition: there are stains and wear off from aging and using, please also take a look at the listed photos for a reference.

Will be well packaged and shipping by Japan Post in fast delivery.
