The masks depicted on the Oblong Plate are from KYOGEN plays in Japan.                     One of the oldest forms of theater in Japan.                                                                    The plays typically depict the everyday stories of ordinary people often in a comedic fashion. These plates aim to bring that joy and laughter that these plays bring us.
