大英博物館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (大英博物館Instagram)「🎭 'No' is Japan's most enduring form of theatre, dating all the way back to the 14th century 🎭 It developed in the 1300s from performances in temples and shrines, and in 14th and early 15th century, under new patronage of the Ashikaga shoguns, actor-playwrites Kan'ami and his son Zeami built up a repertoire of sophisticated plays reflecting Buddhist and poetic elements. These form the core of the No tradition. No masks are made by families of specialist craftsmen and worn by male actors. Before a performance, an actor enters into the spirit of the mask chosen for the role. In the Nō drama, this 'hannya' is a mask worn by the character of a beautiful woman who has been transformed through jealous rage into an ugly demon. The mask, made of painted and lacquered wood, has gilt horns and teeth. The hair is painted in disarrayed strands. It is used in the plays 'Aoi no Ue' (Lady Aoi) and 'Dōjōji' (The Girl at Dōjō Temple). 🔎 ‘Hannya’ No mask. From Japan, painted and lacquered wood, 18th–19th century. #BritishMuseum #NoTheatre #Japan #Buddhism」9月30日 17時30分
