AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This hand-carved wooden mask is crafted in the style of the traditional Noh “Okina” mask, a symbol of longevity, blessing, and prosperity in Japanese performing arts. Although created as a decorative piece rather than a stage-used mask, it faithfully reflects the gentle smile, dignified expression, and white surface associated with the classic Okina character.

The mask is carved from natural wood, finished in a soft white tone, and designed for wall display or as a tabletop ornament. Its folk-art aesthetic (mingei) and traditional craftsmanship make it an appealing piece for collectors of Japanese cultural items, interior décor, or anyone who appreciates the refined spirit of Noh theatre.

A charming representation of Japan’s classical performance tradition, suitable for home display, tea room decoration, or as a unique cultural gift.
