説明

The masks of Kyôgen, traditional Japanese comedic theatre, have treaded a unique course of development. While Kyôgen does employ masks in a variety of plays, they are not a critical aspect of the theatre form. The use of masks in Kyôgen is limited to certain types of plays and to certain character types. Furthermore, Kyôgen masks lack the kind of spirituality that is considered to be at the root of the creation of archetypal masks, or which is at the core of Noh--Kyôgen's sister theatre art. The purpose of the research notes is to seek reasons behind the unique development of Kyôgen masks, and to explore original power that has motivated and shaped Japan's singular comedic theatre. As the first stage of the research, we would like to turn our attention to how masks in Japanese performing arts at large emerged by reviewing general characteristics of masks in Japan, in the context of the formative period of Japan as a nation. We would like to look at how Japanese masks became 'Japanese' by exploring what kinds of needs the populace of the Japanese archipelago had had.
