【Hotokusai Signature】Antique Japanese Noh Mask Ko-omote (Young Woman)
This is a stunning Noh Mask representing a beautiful young woman, a classic symbol of Japanese Noh theater. It features a carved signature on the reverse that appears to read Hotokusai (芳徳齋).
• Artistry: The Ko-omote mask is famous for its intermediate expression, changing its emotional tone depending on the angle of light. This piece showcases a high level of craftsmanship with its delicate features.
• Aesthetic: The natural aging of the paint (patina) adds a profound antique charm that cannot be replicated.
• Provenance: The same signature as the fierce Oni mask, indicating it was created by a master of various sculptural styles.
A perfect centerpiece for any collection of Japanese Art or interior design.
Available for international shipping via proxy services.
