Period: Late Shōwa to early Heisei era, c.1980–1990
This is a traditional wooden Uba Men (姥) Noh mask for Japanese Noh theatre. It bears the signature horizontal age lines on the forehead, with soft smiling eyes and a serene, gentle expression. Hollowed from one solid block of wood, it has a glossy lacquer finish. Carver’s tool marks remain visible on the interior, and red hanging cords are attached to both sides.
