Noh Costume
Noh evolved from several strands of the performing arts and has been performed in Japan since the fourteenth century. Its status advanced during the Muromachi period (1392–1573), when the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu supported the work of Kan'ami (1333–1384) and his son Zeami (ca. 1363–ca. 1443), an actor and playwright who also wrote theoretical works about the art of Noh. In performance, Noh's austere bare stage and the severe elegance of its powerful masks combine with the multiple layers of shimmering costume to give the actor an oversized sculptural presence as he moves with the music and chanting of the chorus. Fittingly, Zeami's concept of yûgen (sometimes translated as "quiet elegance" or "elusive beauty") is frequently applied to Noh performance.

MoMA | German Expressionism Themes: Primitivism expressionists looked outside mainstream european society for inspiration, from far-flung tribal societies in africa and the south pacific to the peasantry and folk art traditions closer to home. stylistically, they borrowed bold volumetric shapes, geometric ornamentation, decorative patterning, and flattened planes from art and objects encountered in ethnographic museums and commercial galleries, at exhibitions at world's fairs and zoos, and in reproductions in books and periodicals.
