The History of Noh
Noh is a classical Japanese performance that originated in the 14th century as a form of entertainment at certain religious festivals. It combines the elements of dance, drama, music and poetry into one stage art.
Certain masks depict certain expressions:

Tengu: depicted by their long nose, expresses their hatred of arrogance and prejudice.
Hanaya: a woman, turned into a demon through jealousy and anger.
Okina: an older male depicted by a long white beard expresses wisdom.
Hyottoko: depicted by the shape of his puckered lips, blows fire from a bamboo tube and expresses comedy.
Ko-Omote: a very young woman representing cuteness, youth, and beauty.
