Shame that managed to ruin it by tearing the front cover for me, If you have an interest in Noh or masks in general this book will, It disappoint. This book is one of the most beautiful books I have read and one of the most beautiful books I own, The masks are photographed and presented not in bright light but in shadowy tones which does nothing to take away from their fragile beauty but add everything to it.
The author accompanies each mask by a description of them, explaining what each mask means and what they are meant to represent, The text is not rambling or complicated but to the point, Truly a beautiful edition to any collection on Japan for the NOH enthusiast or anyone with an interest in Japan or Japanese culture, wunderschön, informativ und faszinierend Beautiful, big and well printed book, Ok some of his books
