Description
Ceramic celadon Noh play figure Okina. A carefully made vintage piece that is in great condition. One of a kind, originally from Japan.
“Okina” is a special play that offers a glimpse into a performing art style that predates Nohgaku. It is also known as “Shikisanban” or “Shikisanba.” It is centered around dances of gods who appear as old people, and is jointly performed by Noh and Kyogen actors.
“Okina” is like a sacred ritual that prays for peace in the world and an abundant harvest. Considered a sacred piece, it is performed prior to all other plays by performers who have purified themselves, and on special days such as New Year’s Day and festivals.
