Document source description
Noh and Kabuki are theatrical forms still practiced today. There is little action in a Noh play: it portrays one all-encompassing emotion that dominates the main character, who wears a mask. In contrast to Noh, Kabuki has a rich blend of music, dance, mime, and spectacular staging and costuming. This teapot presents characters and text from the Noh play Long-Nosed Goblin in Kurama (Kurama Tengu), with the characters’ faces interestingly done up with makeup like how Kabuki characters are visualized in art.
