Ko-omote Mask for a Noh Drama | Japan | Edo period (1615–1868) | The Met
In Noh plays, actors generally wear masks unless they are a middle aged man living in the present. Masks are often worn by the shite or tsure, while the secondary characters, called waki, generally do not. In this picture, a noh actor is wearing a hannya mask, which represents a jealous female demon. It has two sharp bull-like horns, intense eyes, and a fanged mouth. R. Adricula.
Examples of beautiful young women masks are the: ko-omote, wakaonna, zō and magojirō. The ōmiona mask also portrays a young woman, but with more of a working class background. Fukai and shakumi masks are both used to play mature, middle-aged woman of elegance and grace however the latter displays a stronger character. The deigan mask has gold rimmed eyes which implies that the character is otherworldly. Examples of masks for playing old women are rōjo and uba.
