Masque de nô : démon Hannya - Namanari (démon de la jalousie, démon à cornes)
Description
masque en bois laqué et peint ; "Utilisé dans les pièces de théâtre nô, ce masque est en bois peint. Il représente le personnage Hannya, une femme-serpent devenue démon par haine et jalousie. Sculpté avec minutie, son expression est telle qu'elle varie selon l'éclairage et l'inclinaison de la tête. Ainsi, sa fureur vue de face laisse place à plus de tristesse lorsque le masque s'incline." (F. Rubiella, 2020)
Subject depicted
