Japanese Edo Period Paper Mache ‘Noh’ Theatre Mask, Black

Noh ( Nō?), or Nogaku (能楽 Nōgaku?)[1]—derived from the Sino-Japanese word for "skill" or "talent"—is a major form of classical Japanese musical drama that has been performed since the 13th century. Many characters are masked, with men playing male and female roles.

"NOTE" I do not claim to be an Expert here....If you can find out what the words are inside mask. some of these demand up to $1000.00. some lower. Good Luck.

I'm 75% sure I'm right on what you have.  Might be worth getting the guys here to give you a payed Appraisal...Paper trail is always a good thing.
