Kyoto Craftsmanship: Handmade Saga Mask

A father and his son work together to create expressive handmade masks like those originally used for kyōgen theatre performances in the Saga area of Kyoto. Each mask is carefully shaped and hand-painted to bring out unique facial expressions that help bring the characters to life.
