Noh Mask, Replica of Sonjro-style "Semiha" (Cicada Wing), with Dedicated Noh Mask Box and Mask Bag

Noh Mask: Magojiro Replica
Signed by the artist. Includes a dedicated box and mask bag.

Magojiro is a mask representing a beautiful young woman. It is said that Kongo Dayu Magojiro created it in the image of his deceased wife, and it is often used in the Kongo school of Noh. Compared to the Ko-omote mask, it is longer in the face, with deep, dark red lipstick applied to the lips. The hair is drawn in two strands descending from the forehead, with two more strands drawn from around the temples, creating an alluring atmosphere.

[Semi-no-ha] (Attributed to Deme Tomoukan Mitsuyasu, mid-Edo period)
This is a replica of Semi-no-ha, a female mask related to Magojiro. It features a rounded jawline and full, plump lips. While it wears a coquettish smile, its moist, almond-shaped eyes hold a hint of sadness. The fresh expression and soft skin texture are reminiscent of a living woman.

Thank you for viewing.
The artist is a contemporary Noh mask carver.
We hope that Noh fans will enjoy having this piece in their collection.
We appreciate your consideration.
