I, as you can tell am still very interested in this word “Noh.” Above is a factual piece. Yesterday, I read about just such a gentleman in an Asian Newspaper called S.T. Breaking News/Asia
noh where 
humans continue to amaze me with our creativity.
wonderful pieces of writing there. Did you post a piece? I didn’t see it! A few years ago I read a story (can’t remember now!) where one of the characters was a Noh mask maker. It was fascinating. If I can recall the name of the book I’ll let you know. I know it was Asian fiction and it was a very good story.
That would be wonderful, thank you Jeannie!
Here it is: The Street of a Thousand Blossoms by Gail Tsukiyama
I highly recommend it to you. xoxo
Jeannie I shall get it on my iPad from Amazon. Again, Thank you.
This is lovely, Liz. I can just picture the man doing this.
Thank you … in the link there is a photo of him holding one of the masks as he stands in front of the exhibition of his masks commemorating the loss of his family.

each Noh mask
