拍品描述
A SMALL WOOD CARVING OF A KYOGEN MONKEY MASK

Unsigned
Japan, late 19th century, Meiji period (1868-1912)

A very finely carved and naturalistically modeled miniature mask of a monkey with a deeply focused expression marked by almond-shaped eyes surrounded by deep wrinkles, the pupils double-inlaid in horn, the mouth forming a subtle smile, fur neatly incised, heightened by skillful staining. The carving is a miniature mask rather than a netsuke as it lacks cord holes.

HEIGHT 8.2 cm

Condition: Very good condition with minor surface wear and light traces of use.

Kyogen is a form of traditional Japanese comic theater. It developed alongside Noh, was performed along with Noh as an intermission of sorts between Noh acts on the same stage and retains close links to Noh in the modern day. Its contents are nevertheless not at all similar to the formal, symbolic, and solemn Noh theater; kyogen is a comic form, and its primary goal is to make its audience laugh.

Saru, also known as Mashi, the monkey mask, is not entirely simian; it is more a humanoid simian. A realistic monkey face would not make a good Kyogen mask. As in the case of other animal masks such as the badger, fox, or dog, the monkey mask must include sufficient traces of human features for its ability to speak and understand not to cause too great a surprise.
