Hannya Noh Mask in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, March 2019
Hannya Noh Mask
first half of the 17th century
Object Details
Artist: Yūkan Mitsuyasu (Japanese, 1577–1652)
Period: Edo period (1615–1868)
Date: first half of the 17th century
Culture: Japan
Medium: Wood, gesso, polychrome pigments, and brass and gold accents
Dimensions: H. 8 1/2 × W. 7 × D. 4 1/2 in. (21.6 × 17.8 × 11.4 cm)
Classification: Masks
Credit Line: Lent by Stephen Marvin
In the second part of the play titled Lady Aoi (Aoi no Ue) by Zeami, based on Chapter 9, “Leaves of Wild Ginger” (Aoi), a mountain monk is summoned to perform a ritual to exorcise the vengeful spirit of Lady Rokujō. The jealousy in her heart is embodied as a female ogre, played by a Noh actor wearing a hannya mask, representing a female serpent-demon. A battle rages between the monk and the demon. Eventually, a Buddhist scripture reaches the lady’s heart, and her ogre aspect is calmed. The hannya mask has an open mouth, strong jaw, sharp teeth, golden eyes, and two horns. Its expression is simultaneously demonic, angry, frightening, tormented, and sorrowful.
