In the realm of Noh theater, Koomote represents an unmarried young woman, traditionally portrayed with high-arched eyebrows drawn on the forehead and teeth blackened—a common practice in this age group during the period. The facial expression of the Koomote mask is one of purity and charm, with a hint of youthful naivety. This representation is believed to symbolize the chastity and innocence of an unmarried woman. The mask also features the typical makeup style of the era, with white powder and a touch of red, adding to the beauty and healthy appearance of the young woman. The mask shows some signs of wear and spots, as evident in the photos provided. This mask is a remarkable piece for collectors and enthusiasts of traditional Japanese Noh theater, embodying the delicate balance of youthfulness and grace. Dimensions: approx.
