Noh Mask: Shishiguchi (Lion's Mouth) With inscription by the artist, and a mask bag. Use: Specifically for "Shakkyo" (Stone Bridge) Appreciation: "Shishiguchi" is the mask of the parent lion. Even within its fearsome expression, there is a certain gentle quality, like a parent's love, that pervades. It possesses the dignified air of the king of beasts, unruffled and unangered by small matters. Thank you for viewing. The artist is a current Noh mask carver. I hope that Noh fans will enjoy having this in their possession for appreciation. Thank you for your consideration.
