Noh mask Ko-omote with wooden board. The old woman is a copy of the aged face of Ono no Komachi, a female poet of the early Heian period.
Although her cheeks have lost weight due to old age, the face is wrinkle-free and exudes beauty, dignity, color, and culture. Noh masks signify the characters' gender, age, and social ranking, and by wearing masks the actors may portray youngsters, old men, female, or nonhuman (divine, demonic, or animal) characters. Comes with cushion bag and wooden board for decoration.
