装飾オーナメント - Traditional Japanese Noh mask "Ko-omote"
"Ko-omote" is a classic Noh mask representing a young, gentle maiden and stands as one of the most popular styles in the Noh repertoire.
It features a stark white base, slender almond-shaped eyes, vermilion lips, and a subtle, upturned mouth. The expression is serene and restrained, carrying a faint air of mystery upon closer inspection—an embodiment of the Japanese aesthetic concept of *mono no aware* (the pathos of things).
Equipped with purple cords on both sides, the mask can be held for viewing or hung on a wall as a decorative piece. The surface bears subtle traces of age, lending it a rich, antique character; it is ideal for Japanese-style interior décor or as a piece for an art collection. Material: Ceramic body.
