Mask Making Workshop 2025 (7-25 July)

Theatre Nohgaku is pleased to announce the Mask Making Workshop 2025, taught by Master Instructor Kitazawa Hideta: Mask Maker.

Masks grow from a deep knowledge and thorough mastery of the centuries-old techniques of traditional mask-making. Join this workshop and learn how a single block of hinoki (Japanese cypress) is chosen, and after preparing a clay model, chisel is laid to grain. Experience first-hand how meticulously painted watercolors are applied to gesso-coated wood, in preparation for the actor to bring the mask to life on stage. Participants will learn about the craft of mask making through the creation of their own completed work under the daily guidance of Mr. Kitazawa.

Workshop is conducted in English (except for Noh Performance Viewing.) No prior experience in reading or speaking Japanese is required
