Thank you for your interest in this item. This is part of a collection that my grandfather gathered during his lifetime. This is a Kamado-gami mask collected in Tome District, Miyagi Prefecture (present-day Tome City). In the former Sendai Domain, which spanned from Iwate Prefecture to Miyagi Prefecture, there was a custom of hanging Kamado-gami masks on pillars in the earthen-floored area where the kitchen was located. In the old days, many were made of wood or clay, and this one is made of wood. However, this one was made by a carpenter in the 1980s, and as you can see from the back, it is made of square lumber. The back is hollowed out in the middle, suggesting it was tied to a pillar. With renovations and changes in living environments, there are fewer and fewer houses that enshrine Kamado-gami. As they are not often seen on the market, I hope that anyone interested will consider purchasing it. As it is an old item, there may be minor scratches, stains, and cracks. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about these imperfections.
