On the Cover YANGJU SANDAE NORI: MASKED DRAMA OF KOREA The dancing girl who seduces an old monk and succumbs to the charms of a drunkard, from the Masked Play of Yangju, Korea, mask made by Yu Kyŏng-sŏng, 1970s. Masked plays satirized the foibles of monks, nobility, and ordinary people and have provided inspiration for more recent political satire. Traditionally, they were performed in different communities throughout the Korean peninsula on ritual occasions to expel ominous forces and secure blessings. Revived in the late 20th century, the Yangju play was designated “Intangible Heritage Asset #2” in 1964. The mask face is made of gourd with features of twisted paper and pine bark, all light-weight for dancing.
