Japanese Drama
Few details are available on the daily lives of the Japanese.
It is known that
Noh performances were the most revered art form in ancient Japan. Noh
performances combined
dance,
music and mime. Performances often centred on a distressed spirit who returns to the
world to
repent deeds committed
during a former existence. The mask shown here was worn
during performances and represents the
face of a young woman.
