Japanese Waka Onna Mask

Capture the true beauty of one of the most distinct Japanese Noh masks - the waka onna. 

This beautiful Japanese mask, crafted by skilled Japanese artisans, embodies the beauty of a young Japanese woman.

Waka Mask Meaning

The Waka-onna mask is probably the most famous female Noh theater mask after the hannya. It represents a young woman around the 25-30 years old.  With its large forehead, downcast eyes, and small mouth, the mask conveys a neutral expression, allowing performers to express various emotions through gestures.

It is typically crafted from cypress wood and showcases a delicate balance of beauty and age.
