Graphic Artist | 🇯🇵 Art『小面』’Ko-omote’ (jap. “a small face”)- the most complicated Noh theatre mask.
Ko-omote 小面 is a mask of a young beautiful woman. For a Noh performer it’s the most ‘difficult’ mask to use: this mask shows up to 40 emotions according to the angle of light on the stage. In comparison with Ko-omote other masks show about 15-20 emotions in average.
