Dym sensei, I've always wanted to do this my whole life. Unfortunately I started doing something else as a profession but I feel it's never too late. If the classes are still taking place I'd shut down my business just so I could have the opportunity to take part in this art form. Great video, thank you for sharing.
Bjorn, They are going to try and run the Noh Training Project this summer, but given Japanese travel restrictions, not sure if the noh masks portion will be running. I would recommend trying to plan to participate in the mask workshop in summer 2022.
@fraterlibertas3036 They have had them for about 5 summers as part of the Noh Training Project. You make a mask over three weeks. I took the course and it was great!
The wood he uses is hinoki. This film is part of a larger project on Noh masks that I am working on and in that film the entire history of noh masks and noh mask making will be examined in more depth.
Wassup jeff, you mentioned this film being a part of a larger project on Noh Masks, can you give me more detail on what the name of the film will be, where we can watch the full film, if it will be on sale and anything else relating to the film? Would love to check it out, looking forward to hearing your response
I would love to learn how to create Noh Masks they are so interesting and beautiful. Japan is very blessed and also smart to hold on to and cherish their traditions, unlike the west where we and our traditions are constantly under attack by Marxists it's getting really bad nothing is safe or sacred anymore!
It is basically the artist signing their artwork with there name. Seals comprised of the Chinese characters for a person's name have been used for signatures in East Asia for centuries.
