Zohonna, a representation of celestial beings and spirits, is a mask used in performances depicting divine and elegant female characters. Resembling the youthful innocence of the Koomote mask, Zohonna adds an element of sophistication and grace. It is characterized by a unique hair pattern, with two broad strokes from the forehead to the temples, subdividing into three or four slender lines. The cheeks are adorned with three lines, one of which is notably thicker, adding to the mask's dignified appearance. Unlike the slightly upturned corners of the mouth found in the Wakaonna masks, Zohonna features a more subdued expression, with the corners slightly downturned, embodying a serene and composed presence. This mask, despite showing signs of wear and some staining, retains the majestic aura of its design, as evidenced by the accompanying photographs. It's a fine example of the craftsmanship and artistry in Noh theater, capturing the essence of ethereal beauty and poised sophistication. Dimensions: approx. H 21.3 cm W 13.7 cm L 7 cm ・Please make sure to review all the provided information and images before placing your bid. ・We make every effort to accurately represent the product's colors and textures in our photos.
