Shunkan

Several islands claim to be the place of exile of the monk Shunkan, who plotted against the Heike in 1177. His co-conspirators received pardons, but he conspicuously did not. There are Noh plays about it. This statue is in Iōjima in Kagoshima Prefecture. Source. Also.

Staging Noh

This illustration from a collection of Noh songs gives a good idea of the performance's stage directions. Source.

Jido

Still from The Sound of the Mountain (1954).

    Shingo put on his glasses and started to untwist the cord; and the moment he could see them clearly the hair and lips of the jido mask struck him as so beautiful that he wanted to cry out in surprise.

    When Suzumoto had left, Eiko came to his desk.

    "Isn't it beautiful."

    Eiko nodded silently.

    "Put it on for a minute."

    "But that would be all wrong. Here I am in foreign clothes." When Shingo handed her the mask, however, she put it on and tied the cord.

    "Move your head, very gently."

    Standing before him, Eiko moved her head this way and that.

    "Good. Very good." The words came of their own accord. Even with so little movement, the mask quite came to life. Eiko had on a russet dress, and her hair sent waves cascading at the sides of the mask, but she had taken on a charm that held him captive.

    "Is that enough?"

    "Yes." Shingo immediately sent Eiko out to buy a reference work on No masks.
