Japanese Noh Boxwood Mask I

Noh, (derived from the Japanese word for "skill" or "talent") is a major form of classical Japanese dance-drama that has been performed since the 14th century.

Noh integrates somptuous costumes and masks. Emotions are primarily conveyed by stylized conventional gestures and iconic masks. 

There are 138 different maks in Noh theater, divided in six categories such as ghosts, women, children, and the elderly.

Il y a environ mille cinq cents acteurs et musiciens professionnels de nô au Japon, et cette forme d'art recommence à prospérer principalement auprès d'une certaine élite intellectuelle.
