● Sarutobide Sarutobide is a type of Tobide mask, a type of demon mask with an "ah" expression. It resembles the Kotobide mask in construction. This mask is primarily used in the Noh play "Nue," a fantasy play based on the "Tale of the Heike," for the role of the "ato-shite" (the second main character). The mask represents a monstrous creature with the head of a monkey, the tail of a snake, and the limbs of a tiger. Please note that the color may appear different in the photos due to the lighting conditions, as these were taken by an amateur. Although I have stored the mask in a dark place without using it since I purchased it, there was a crack in the mouth area from the time I received it. Please check the 7th photo. This is an item of age, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things. Thank you for your understanding.
