Nohgaku was once on the verge of extinction, but has been preserved as a traditional art form by the Emperor of Japan and has been handed down to the present day. Noh masks are a comprehensive art form that requires study of techniques from all fields of art, including sculpture, Japanese painting, metal forging, dyeing, and, in some cases, hair dressing and makeup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsman Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eIchiyu Terai \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt the age of 22, he studied under Takano Yuikan.
