One aspect of The World Through Wooden Eyes of special interest is the collection of Noh Masks. Many of the masks in the collection were created by Nohzin Suzuki and his students. Also included is an Okina mask by Suzuki’s Master, Ujiharu Nagasawa, the only Noh mask carver to be given National Living Treasure status in Japan.

The top  three masks all have a shared heritage, the mask on the left is by Ujiharu Nagasawa, master of Nohzin Suzuki, the middle mask is by Suzuki while the mask on the right is by Baku Adachi, Suzuki’s last student. Please click on an image below to see the mask in more detail.
