A dance piece in *bugaku y and the mask *bugakumen
yΚ representing a serious, stern young man. A quiet dance hiramai ½
of the Right u-no-mai Em originating in Korea komagaku νy, performed
by four people dancing in unison and wearing layered robes kasaneshouzoku
P© with a bird helmet torikabuto Ήb. Of very early date, the dance is reputed to have been performed at the coronation of Emperor Nintoku mΏ in 313 by the erudite Korean master, Wani €m, making it one of the first foreign dances to be introduced into Japan. It retained its celebratory function and was incorporated into the the coming-to-manhood ceremonies of the crown prince. A firmly closed mouth and stern but not unkind expression characterize the mask. A medallion at mid-forehead centers the concentrated expression and suggests connections with *Chikyuu nv and *Taishoutoku ήΓ. A fine example is the property of Tamukeyama Jinja θόR_Π (1042) in Nara. Four other white masks of the same date are housed at Toudaiji ε and another inscribed by Inshou σ (1185) is at Kasuga Taisha tϊεΠ in Nara. |
