Since ancient times, there has been a belief in removing and purifying as messengers of the gods during times of disaster. This item has also been dedicated to local shrines as a Great Tengu. This work has been displayed in my home for a long time since the Showa period. It has a string on the back, so you can display it immediately. Please check the images carefully before purchasing as it is large. For stores, old folk house objects, etc. Size Height: 43cm Width: 30cm From the back of the face to the tip of the nose: 45.5cm It far exceeds the size of a typical mask, and its size and power are overwhelming. There are small scratches and stains due to aging and storage, but I think it's relatively clean. Please check the photos. Tengu have been revered as sacred beings in Japanese traditional culture since ancient times. Related to mountain worship and Shugendo, Tengu are often depicted as guardians of the mountains and strong beings who have overcome rigorous training, and have been regarded as symbols of the power to ward off disasters and justice. In addition, their powerful appearance is also valued as a lucky charm, as a symbol of family safety, business prosperity, and the exorcism of evil spirits. Tengu masks are also used in Japanese festivals and Shinto rituals, and are respected as symbols of warding off evil and bringing good fortune. Especially, such a large Tengu mask is believed to play the role of a powerful guardian by displaying it in a house or store, warding off bad luck and bringing prosperity.
