Noh Mask Crafting Class

We offer classes in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, where participants can learn to create authentic Noh masks. Even beginners can start from scratch. Instruction is provided for the entire process: beginning with cutting a square log, then carving, coating, coloring, and finishing. It usually takes about six months to complete a mask through all these steps. As your skills improve, you will be able to create authentic Noh masks that can actually be used in Noh performances.
