"Bronze Of A Japanese Noh Actor "
Japanese bronze representing a Noh theater actor, for the noh play Yuya signed by the artist Kiyomine accompanied by a handwritten sheet (a poem?) and a small wooden sign
- Yuya (熊野) is the title of a famous Noh play, so the statue depicts the lead character, a noblewoman of the Heike clan
- Karakane (唐銅) is bronze with a high content of copper mixed with tin and a little lead
- The artist's name is Kiyomine (清峯)
- The minimalism is quite striking and contrasts in a very appealing way with the extravagance of Noh costumes.
- a box comes with the figure but it arrived broken i glue it again
