Noh Masks in Aoi no Ue
 Fukai 深井The Fukai mask shows a mature woman filled with deep, restrained emotion. The slightly lowered eyes and calm sadness suggest quiet dignity and the sorrow of experience. |  Ko-omote 小面This mask represents a young woman—pure, gentle, and graceful. Its soft smile and smooth features express innocence and quiet beauty, often used for youthful female characters or spirits of memory. |  Hannya 般若The Hannya mask embodies jealousy and rage, with horns, sharp teeth, and fierce eyes. It represents a woman whose intense emotion has turned into a vengeful spirit, yet still carries traces of human pain. |
