Description from the seller
Fine Japanese Noh Mask Replica – "Yuki no Ko-omote" (Snow Ko-omote) Certified Art Collection Issue for Japandi Wall Sculpture
【Description】
An exceptionally fine and elegant Japanese Noh mask (Ko-omote), issued as an official art collection release by the NHK Service Center.
Artistic & Cultural Background:
Iconic Masterpiece Reproduction: Modeled directly after the famous National Treasure / Cultural Property "Yuki no Ko-omote" (Snow Ko-omote), originally carved by master artisan Tatsuemon.
Revered Aesthetic Expression:
Ko-omote represents young, noble female beauty in classical Noh theater, characterized by subtle smiling contours, painted eyebrows (Tenjo-mayu), and blackened teeth (Ohaguro).
Official Seals on Reverse:
The inner surface features traditional red lacquer inscriptions noting "Yuki no Ko-omote" along with the official publishing mark of the NHK Service Center Art Collection.
Contemporary Interior Display:
With its pristine white porcelain-like finish and serene classical expression, this museum-quality mask serves as a sophisticated cultural accent for modern Japandi interiors, minimal art walls, or private Asian theater collections.
【Materials & Construction】
Core Material: Molded Ceramic / Fine Composite Resin (Precision mold reproduction crafted for stability and detailed contouring).
Surface Finish: Matte white gesso-style pigmented coating, replicating the soft porcelain finish of classic Noh mask Gofun.
Pigments & Inscriptions: Painted facial detailing in black sumi and vermilion red, with stamped/painted red lacquer (Shu-urushi) inscriptions on the reverse.
【Condition】
Exhibits excellent, remarkably clean vintage condition overall. The painted surface retains its soft matte finish with only extremely subtle handling marks around the outer edge. Reverse side is solid with original mounting holes. Please inspect all detailed high-resolution photographs prior to bidding.
