Yoshinori Irie A Noh mask maker from the Taisho and Showa periods. Born January 8, 1896 Died September 3, 1975 Born in Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture. Biography: Studied under Toyozan Shimomura (Kiyoki), the younger brother of Kanzan Shimomura. Later became his son-in-law. After the Meiji era, Noh masks were treated as "new masks" and were discriminated against, but he emphasized the artistry of Noh mask techniques and published books such as "Noh Mask Examination," establishing the position of a Noh mask artist. He did not believe his works were worthy of a seal, and therefore, there are no sealed masks.
