Noh Masks
Noh masks are traditional Japanese masks used in Noh theater, a classical form of Japanese drama. These masks are crafted from wood and are known for their intricate designs and expressive features. Each mask represents a specific character, such as gods, demons, or historical figures, and is designed to convey a range of emotions through subtle changes in light and angle.
The artistry of Noh masks involves a deep understanding of facial expressions and the psychology of performance. Skilled artisans spend years perfecting their craft, ensuring that each mask captures the essence of the character it represents. This unique aspect of Noh theater enhances the storytelling and emotional depth of the performances.
