Each of the above shown 3 works of art, the Baku, the Elephant, and the two men, each of these come from a very old Japanese collection. From my many years of experience, I can say that the quality is very high and that such items are quite rare - these seem to come from a Japanese Jinja Shrine (a Shinto Shrine, not a Buddhist Shrine). Baku, the carving or state with the long curving nose, are said to give you good dreams. The Japanese thought the elephant to be an amusing animal from very far away but, having never seen one, portray them with something less than perfect accuracy.
The two men playing the long Shakuhachi or flutes --- I am really not sure what they are. Perhaps a customer could help? Are they tomb gods? To play music in the afterlife? Are they Japanese? Ainu? Chinese? Korean? I have found works of art from all such countries inside Japan, and collected, and sold them, but still think that, being associated in a collected with the Zou and the Baku, that they SHOULD be Japanese... but they are so unlike anything I have had before I cannot say more just yet.
These are museum quality Japanese Antique Jinja wood carvings ... Not expensive --- Price On Request.

I use the words called the "Ninomai "~ it means to do again the same failure in life.
These are the words to come from Gagaku.
"Ama" is a one of Gagaku dance, "Ninomai" is playing after "Ama".
This mask is very very, old, and used for the unhappy old man in this play.
Late Muromachi, circa 1550 --- the price is USD $4,500
"Hannya" is a popular Japanese noh theatre mask design, representing a jealous female demon. It possesses two sharp bull-like horns, glaring eyes, and a leering mouth split from ear to ear. Quite nice work, no painted. Traditional Japanese house display at entrance. Old Japanese believe this mask can refuse real demons. And also they believe that this mask invite good luck.
A young woman. A pretty, tender pure beautiful woman. It is a representative work in a Noh-mask.
Various changes are seen by delicate movement without the woman's mask says an intermediate expression, and feelings being decided.
And "Ko omote" is most popular mask in noh masks. Elegant. Beautiful. Mysterious.
