I have a set of three Japanese paintings of NO Dancers. The information I have is that the artist is Kano Baishun and the Period is 1684 - 1743. They are signed by the artist in the lower left hand corner, along with a collection seal in red. The artist's names and signatures were deciphered by a Japanese curator in the Congressional Library in 1975.

#1 - depicting a NO dancer wearing the mask of an old man, white hair and goatee. He is wearing a tan loose sleeved jacket and featured in a dancing pose.

#2 - depicting a NO dancer wearing a black mask with bushy white eyebrows, moustache and goatee along with a high black hat. He is wearing a pale blue kimono.

#3 - depicting a NO dancer wearing a loose green kimono and a mask with a large nose.

These are extremely fragile, and do have some wear and tear. They are each 16" wide and 33" tall.

Photos are available by request.

Would you be interested in this set? Or could you refer me to somebody who might be interested?
