A Noh theater mask of a venerable old man, depicting Sankõjo. Carved from Japanese cypress (hinoki), it is characterized by its wrinkled face and accentuated features, which reveal subtle emotional nuances depending on angle and light. Used to portray elderly characters imbued with wisdom and solemnity, this mask exemplifies the expressive depth and spiritual dimension of classical Japanese theater.
