Noh mask

Objects · Rituals

Named carved stage-masks of Japanese Noh. Not a gorgoneion, not Hina ningyo, and not a being.

  • Noh mask is used in Rite.

    Chamberlain’s Nō article seats the carved masks of Nō drama as ritual theatre furniture of that stage — masked performance use, not a festival demon mask dump alone.
