Thank you for viewing. This is a Kagura mask of the "Monkey." It is a Iwami Kagura style mask. Kagura originally began when ancient people danced to pray for good health and rejuvenation of the soul, and this ritual of soul-soothing is said to be the origin of various Shinto performing arts. A mold is made from clay, Japanese paper is carefully layered, and a mixture of gofun (oyster shell powder) is applied, followed by coloring. It has a unique smell. The hair is made of horse hair. A board will be attached to the back of the mask for display when shipped. Size: Mask - 30cm (height) x 20cm (width) - There may be slight variations. Instant purchase is possible. Please understand that this is handmade. Kagura Mask, Kagura Mask, Decorative Mask
