● Imawaka This mask resembles Chujo and is used for a young nobleman. It is said to be named after the eldest of Tokiwa Gozen's three sons, Imawaka, Otowaka, and Ushiwaka. It is portrayed as a nobleman who is slightly younger than Chujo and has a melancholic air. The shape and position of the wrinkles at the base of the eyebrows are slightly different from those of Chujo. The wrinkles start above the base of the nose and run outwards and upwards, continuing to the skin in the center of the forehead. The indentations on either side of the forehead, enclosed by these lines, look as if they were pressed with a thumb, and the eyebrow ink, drawn even higher than in the case of Chujo and almost touching the crown of the head, is also quite distinctive. These features effectively depict a young nobleman with a slightly younger, melancholic air than Chujo, despite having teeth in both upper and lower jaws. This mask is used almost identically to Chujo. Depending on the school, Chujo may be used for the young noblemen in Shura-mono plays, while Imawaka may be used in plays such as "Ominaeshi," "Genjo," "Suma Genji," "Koshio," and "Unrin-in."
