● Zō-onna Compared to the Ko-omote mask, the forehead is slightly narrower, and the cheeks are more taut, making the face appear elongated. It is characterized by its sharp, round eyes and downturned mouth. It is often used in dance pieces of the third category, which feature women as the shite (principal role). It is said that this name comes from the creation of Zō-ami, a master of Dengaku (a type of traditional Japanese performance). Because of its refined and elegant expression, it is often used for roles such as goddesses, celestial maidens, and divine women. It is also called "Tenkan-shita" (under the crown) as it is worn under a crown, as seen in plays like "Miwa," "Hagoromo," and "Tatsuta." Size: Height 21.4cm, Width 13.5cm Due to amateur photography, the color may appear different depending on the lighting. However, it has been stored in a dark place without being used at all after purchase, so it is a beautiful item without any noticeable scratches or stains, in my amateur opinion. However, as it is an item that has aged over time, please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things. Thank you for your understanding.
