Masks (novel)

Masks (Japanese: 女面, Onnamen) is a novel by Japanese author Fumiko Enchi, published in 1958. An English translation by Juliet Winters Carpenter was published in 1983.[1] Each of the novel's three sections takes its name from a type of Noh mask.[2] Many elements of the novel were influenced by The Tale of Genji, which Enchi had earlier translated into modern Japanese.[3]
