Thank you for viewing. This is a Kagura mask set, featuring the Red Oni (demon) and Blue Oni. These masks are from the Iwami Kagura style. Kagura originally began as a dance performed by ancient people to pray for good health and the rejuvenation of the soul. This ritual of pacifying and revitalizing the spirit is said to be the origin of various Shinto performing arts. The masks are made by creating a mold with clay, carefully layering Japanese paper, applying a coating of gofun (a white pigment made from oyster shells), and then coloring them. *Persimmon tannin is used to repel insects. Horse mane is used for the hair of the Kagura masks. It will settle slightly with gravity. This product is a decorative mask. It cannot be modified to be worn. How about using it as a talisman or for warding off evil?
