Japan

8 inches, painted ceramic

Okina (or Hakushikijo) is the name of this very popular Noh character. He makes for an especially stunning piece of art the Japanese like to hang in their homes... as do many others around the world. True Noh masks are made of wood (not ceramic like this one) and cost thousands of dollars even for those made in recent years. Old ones are in the homes of millionaires or museums.
