● Reijo (Female Spirit) The Reijo, a mask representing a vengeful female spirit, appears at first glance to be an intelligent woman with a semblance of life and even a touch of elegance. However, her eyes are fitted with metal, her mouth reveals gold-painted teeth, and the corners of her eyes are pulled up while the corners of her mouth are turned down, expressing a look of resentment. "Rei" refers to a spirit or soul, and in Noh plays, it specifically refers to ikiryo (living spirits, where the soul leaves the body while alive and afflicts those they resent) and shiryo (dead spirits, where the soul of a deceased person takes on a living form and causes suffering). These represent the vengeful spirits of both the living and the dead. Like the Yase-onna (thin woman) mask, the Reijo is used in plays that focus on the obsessive attachment of women, such as "Kinuta" and "Teika." Due to amateur photography, the colors in the photos may appear different depending on the lighting. However, I have stored the item in a dark place without ever using it after purchase, so it is in beautiful condition, with no visible scratches or stains to my amateur eye. Also, there is some wear on the string holes, but this is believed to be proof that it was a genuine item that was used. However, as this is an item from a previous era, please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about its condition. Thank you for your understanding.
