Description from the seller

Good condition.
Size: 21cm x 14xm x 7.5cm (length, width, height)

Description:
This Noh mask depicts a pale, youthful face with a gentle smiling expression. The narrow eyes, softly arched eyebrows, and small red lips create a calm yet slightly mysterious appearance. The black hairline at the top is simply painted, giving the face a clean and restrained look.
The cheeks are softly rounded, with small dimples that add a subtle liveliness to the expression. Like many Noh masks, the face appears different depending on the viewing angle: from the front it seems quietly smiling, while from another angle it may appear more reserved or melancholic.
This is a delicate and expressive Japanese Noh mask, suitable as a decorative object or as part of a traditional theatre-related collection. Its understated features and balanced expression reflect the refined beauty of classical Japanese performing arts.
