Living Through

This Noh mask of Kenreimon-in Toku is wrapped in a light blue cloth. It features a sculpted deer and fawn standing under wisteria flowers on top of the head. The fawn eats grass innocently, while the stag gazes straight ahead. This mask by Shuko Nakamura evokes a quiet story, reflecting on life after losing her family in the war.
