Jp En


The Waka-onna mask is a kind of Female Masks that express the character of a young woman. Other masks included in this type are Ko-omote, Magojiro and Fushikizo. All of them have a glamorous air. The Waka-onna mask portrays an intelligent young woman a little older than Ko-omote. It expresses the intermediacy between the cuteness of Ko-omote and the decency and intelligence of Zo-onna. The Waka-onna mask is characterized by the broad forehead, which is even broader than Ko-omote, and the small chin. It is the most decent mask in this category. Its full cheeks, smooth skin, soft lips, round chin, long-slitted eyes and refined nose altogether create mysteriously ambiguous countenance. The Waka-onna mask is used for “Matsukaze,” “Yuya,” “Nonomiya,” “Izutsu” and “Senju.”
