Lot of eight theater masks; Japan, XIX-XX centuries. Wood, ceramic and bronze. They present faults. Measurements: 12 x 10 x 6 cm; 3 x 2,5 cm. This type of pieces were usually made in natural materials, following (as in everything related to this type of theater) the tradition, such as Japanese cypress wood (hinoki), paint with natural pigments, binders (sometimes) made from powdered seashells, natural hair hairpieces, etc.. Although the rise of Noh theater occurred in the 17th century (the period when the first printed texts have been dated), it is known to have existed as early as the 14th century and before. They are short dramas (from 30 minutes to two hours), and a day of Noh theater consists of five parts of different categories. The stage comes from a Chinese scheme, decorated with paintings, Japanese cypress pilasters pointing out the angles...; and is occupied by the actors and four musicians at the back of it, and a chorus of eight to twelve persons. All the actors are men, and are divided into four major categories, with eight major categories of roles. As for the masks, all the masks used in this type of theater are named. They are usually worn only by the main actor, and are almost always used to represent a female or non-human character (be it a demon, a god or an animal) or an old man or a child. It is the expertise and experience of the actor that allows these masks to "represent various emotions" on stage by playing with the position of the head and the stage lighting. They present faults.
