### Crafting a Traditional Japanese Noh Mask
<YouTube id="B7bPmVp4LRY" />
Noh is a traditional Japanese theater art with a legacy that dates back to the 14th century. It often draws from traditional literature and often involves the supernatural, with masks playing an important role in the performance.
In this [short documentary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7bPmVp4LRY) Mitsue Nakamura carefully crafts each mask from Japanese cypress, cutting and chiseling it to create the nose, lips, and eyes. She then applies coating and lacquers, mixing a concoction of seashell powder and rice glue. Pigments are hand-blended and the teeth are blackened in a practice known as ohaguro, which has been around since the 8th century.
