Yase onna
This mask for Japanese No-theatre is worn by the actor who plays the character Yase onna, or ‘Emaciated woman’. She is the ghost of a woman who suffered a tragic love affair during her life and whose soul is tormented by the loss of her lover. The subtle rendering of the mask’s expression does not diminish the intensity of its emotion.
