It takes between eight months to a year to complete the process of sculpting and painting a noh mask. While the noh masks are generally copies (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eutsushi\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) of traditional works, the carver always strives to discover and re-create the essence of the original mask. This requires not only technical skill but an understand and appreciation of noh itself. Through subtle nuances of carving and coloring discovered and developed through years of training and experience, the power of the masks is brought to life. A good mask is a medium for projecting emotion to an audience over a considerable physical distance. The proper modeling of the back of the mask facilitates the projection of the voice. Ultimately, a noh mask’s true beauty and character are realized when an actor wearing it on stage successfully unites intention, Chant, and movement.
