Noh Mask: "Ōbeshimi" Artist: Tangetsu This is a work by the Noh mask maker Tangetsu. 【Size】 Height 24 cm, Width 18 cm, Thickness 15 cm This is a work of my late father, who learned from the Kanze school. It has been stored in a closet for a long time after being made. The cardboard outer box is dirty. There is age-related soiling. See photos 8-13. Also, the red line under the left eyebrow is missing. (It is present under the right eyebrow) Please take a close look at the photos. Is it a mistake, or intentional? I don't know, but I have priced it lower. I believe the mask itself is an Ōbeshimi that conveys a sense of power. The mask will be wrapped in brocade fabric and sent to you. A string will be included. I am also listing other Noh masks. ◾️This is a demon mask characterized by its closed mouth and large eyes and nose. The Tengu mask in Noh is this Ōbeshimi. "Beshi" comes from "heshimu" (to clench one's mouth), and the mouth is tightly closed in a straight line. The eyes are wide open, and the mouth is filled with power, expressing an expression that seeks to subdue everything with force.
