Item Description: This is a finely crafted traditional Noh mask (能面) made from carved wood, representing the Ko-omote (小面), a classic female character used in Noh theatre. The mask portrays a youthful and gentle woman, delicately rendered with a soft expression and slightly parted lips. Subtle coloring and patina on the surface indicate age and artistry. This type of mask is often used in plays portraying young noblewomen, divine maidens, or spiritual beings. The rear of the mask is signed with the artist’s name “基郷” (Kigō), suggesting a named craftsman. The surface of the wood on the reverse shows wear consistent with age and handling, adding to its authenticity and charm. Traditional string attachments remain in place, suitable for display or collection. A beautiful example of Japanese cultural craftsmanship, suitable for collectors of Noh theatre art, traditional masks, or Japanese antiques. Size: Approximately 13.2 × 21 × 6.5 cm Artist Profile: Signed by 基郷 (Kigō). Further biographical information is not available; however, the signature indicates it is the work of a known or named carver, contributing to its authenticity and collectible value. **PLEASE NOTE** Shipping Information: Items are shipped from Japan.
