Condition: excellent!

An elegant Noh mask ivory netsuke, carved with delicacy and perfect symmetry. Shakumi is a classic archetype, a strong and mature female character that is no stranger to the vicissitudes of human theatre. She is distinguished by the delicate wisps of hair around her face. Her eyes are heavy and slightly weighted. Her lips are a brilliant cherry red and offset with blackened teeth, a mark of beauty in Japan since the Hein period (794 to 1185 CE). Himotoshi are carved in the back, as is the formal artist signature of Koshin. Moist, dense, high-hand polished to an elegant natural sheen. A marked beauty of simple grace. (SD)
