Netsuke "Hagoromo" 根付「羽衣」

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

This woman performing noh mai dance is netsuke "Hagoromo" made by Isshu Kishi on show at Tokyo National Museum. "Hagoromo" is a noh play and the plot is as follows according to Wikipedia: 

A fisherman is walking with his companions at night when he finds the Hagoromo, the magical feather-mantle of a tennin (an aerial spirit or celestial dancer) hanging on a bough. The tennin sees him taking it and demands its return because she cannot return to Heaven without it. The fisherman argues with her, and finally promises to return it, if she will show him her dance or part of it.....

I saw several noh plays long time ago, but couldn't enjoy them much because noh lines are spoken in old Japanese, and I don't understand much of them. Without kyogen, i.e., another shorter form of traditional Japanese theater developed as a sort of intermission and comic relief between the solemn noh acts (Source: Global Shakespeares), I'd have been bored to death😪 If you have a chance to see noh and kyogen, don't forget to read the plot in advance😉!     

If you love netsuke, read the posts listed under the photos to see more than 30 netsuke items!

東京国立博物館に展示されていた岸一舟作の根付「羽衣」です。「羽衣」は能の演目の一つ。人間が天女の羽衣を拾い、返す前に舞を見せてもらうお話です。

能はずいぶん前にいくつか鑑賞したのですが、予習してなかったせいか撃沈｡｡｡すーっと落ちてしまいました😪（ただ狂言は楽しめました！）

「羽衣」は観たことないのですが、この根付のおかげであらすじを知ることができました。コロナ終わったら観に行こう！
