This type of mask is called Zo’onna because it is said to have been created by Zoami Hisatsugu, a dengaku performing arts master during the Muromachi period (1392–1573). It is used for the roles of supernatural women, such as heavenly maidens and spirits. Its sharp slit eyes, clear complexion, and sharp nose give a serene impression.(20130820_h09) イタリック:Zo’onna、dengaku
