Noh mask – Sanko Jo
Japan, 18th C or earlier
Cypress “hinoki” / “gofun” natural pigments.
This mask is worn in “Sanemori”, “Toru” and “Ukai”.
We know of two masks of this type, one in the Ii collection, and the other one, equally reproduced in the catalogue of the Umewaka collection an achievement of the sculptor Tosui Mitsu Nori, of the Ono Deme family, who died in 1729.
The mask of our collection bears an inscription in cinnabar lacquer which may be read:
“Maeda Rokkon” or “Roku den” Tsukuru.”
We believe that this inscription indicates the provenance of the Maeda estate. The collection of the Marquis Maeda Toshitame, whose quality is well in line with the prestige of the clan.
