The oldest of all Noh masks, the Okina (old man) mask withrounded eyebrows & separated chin is different from other noh masks. It has a lower jaw attached to the main mask with a cord. The eyes are open slits, rather than sculpted eyeballs with bored holes for pupils. Okina is said to be a noh play, but not a noh play. It has no storyline. It is a sacred rite in which actors perform divine figures who dance for peace, prosperity, and safety.

Another lazy Saturday arvo sketching session. This time, I tried out one of my new blending sticks on a portrait. I've never used them in my drawing but I saw them in a drawing video a while back and I was curious. I'd say the results are pretty nice and smooth. I'll use them more often in future drawings/sketches. 😃

YakuSugi, YakuShima Cedar, carvings of the one of the #SevenLuckyGods, #HoTei, and another creation I've never seen before, and traditional masks for ceremonial dances that re-enact myths. #Hotei is the attitude to have for a vacation!! #七福神 #布袋 #民芸センタ− #霧島神宮 #鹿児島県 #面

My most recent art diary has unintentionally become a book of faces. A Face Book, if you will. 😂
