【Product details】

This exquisite Noh mask, hand-carved by the renowned Shōwa-era Noh mask artist Nakajima Senun, represents Uba—an old woman of divine character. Uba masks are used in significant Noh plays, most notably in Takasago, where they appear alongside the Kōjo (old man) mask. While the mask depicts an aged woman, it carries a symbolic role beyond mere representation of old age. Often, Uba masks portray women as divine beings or embodiments of wisdom and spiritual fulfillment, as seen in plays such as Settai and Taema, where Uba takes on the role of an enlightened nun.

The craftsmanship of Nakajima Senun is apparent in the delicate detailing of the mask's serene, dignified expression, bringing a quiet elegance to this important Noh character. The mask’s interior is inscribed with the artist’s signature, while the inside of the box lid also features Senun’s handwritten signature and seal, underscoring its authenticity and value.

This mask comes with its original wooden box and a silk storage bag. There are some signs of aging, such as wear, fading, stains, and a small mark on the right cheek, adding to its historical character. Please refer to the photographs for further details on the condition.

Dimensions: approx. H 21 cm W 13 cm D 6.5 cm

Lot de masques noh conforme et bien emballés/protégés. Les frais en plus, VAT et dédouanement, corsent sérieusement la note (30% en plus des 9% de catawiki) mais le vendeur n'y est pour rien !
