Antique Japanese Scroll – Noh Theatre Performer in Traditional Dress and Mask, Signed – Early 20th Century
This antique Japanese scroll features a Noh theatre performer dressed in traditional attire and a Noh mask, capturing the essence of one of Japan's most revered theatrical traditions. The Noh theatre, known for its stylized performances, uses elaborate masks and minimal movement to convey emotion and narrative, often focusing on themes of ghosts, spirits, and historical figures. This scroll exemplifies the intricate beauty of Noh theatre and its deep cultural significance.
The signature on the scroll adds authenticity and could potentially link this piece to a notable artist who specialized in capturing the atmosphere and artistry of the Noh performance. The details in the performer’s dress and mask reflect the meticulous craftsmanship involved in Noh costumes and their symbolism within Japanese culture.
The dimensions of the scroll at 45 cm wide and 191 cm long make it an elegant vertical piece that draws the eye and evokes the regal and haunting presence of Noh performers.
