This print showcases the Noh theatre mask of Yase Onna, also known as the Emaciated Woman ghost. Created in the 16th century by Deme Yukan, this wooden mask is a haunting representation of a tragic character from Japanese folklore. The Yase Onna mask is worn by actors who bring to life the tormented spirit of a woman who endured a heartbreaking love affair during her lifetime.
