Description: Heavy bronze Antique Japanese Noh Dancer with a Fan. 10.5 inches tall and 5 inches wide at widest section. see photos. The following has been copied from the "Proantic" web page... Noh theatre was created between the 14th and 16th centuries in the form we know today. This classical Japanese theatre represents an allusive and poetic aesthetic. The actors, exclusively men, play either the "shite" (the one who acts), the main character who always wears a mask, or the "waki" (the one on the side), the secondary character who does not wear a mask. The extreme restraint of their movements characterises the motionless tension of Noh. The costumes are associated with specific types of character (warrior, court nobleman, villager, etc.) and their motifs often include references to the current season. They completely cover the actor's body, in a large pyramid shape that contributes to the highly stylised aesthetic of Noh. Apart from the fan, which plays a fundamental role in the dances, accessories are reduced to the bare essentials.
