DESCRIPTION: Wood folk mask of unknown type. MAKER: Unknown workshop near Kyoto. DIMENSIONS: 8.25″ x 6″ x 2.5. This is a mask of an unknown type. It may have been used in kyogen, which is a form of short comedic play popular in small villages and used as an intermission between dramatic nogaku plays. There is a carved signature on the reverse that indicates it came from somewhere near Kyoto, but it is difficult to read. Feel free to message me with questions.
