These are Iwami Kagura masks, traditional crafts of Shimane Prefecture, depicting "Hannya" and "Shoki." They are works by Mr. Katsuro Kakita. They appear to have been made in 1985 for presentation. The back has the names of 19 donors listed (the names are hidden in the photo for privacy). Both masks are quite large and imposing. <Origin> The origin of "Shoki" comes from a dream of Emperor Xuanzong of China, who was ill. In the dream, a ghost appeared night after night, tormenting the emperor. However, "Shoki," wearing a Tang dynasty hat and holding a straw ring and a ten-fathom treasure sword, appeared and vanquished the ghost. Therefore, "Shoki" is a dance of particularly profound dignity in Iwami Kagura and is the most prominent dance. It is a god believed to ward off epidemics and exorcise evil. <Specifications> Mask Size Hannya Mask: 38cm (height) x 25.5cm (width) x 16cm (depth) Shoki Mask: 60cm (height) x 23cm (width) x 19cm (depth) Material: Dry lacquer Wall hanging size: 60.5cm (height) x 85cm (width) x 24cm (depth) <Product Number> 25H10-3Z1101 <Condition> As a used antique, there is some dirt, scuffs, and minor scratches, but there is no significant damage to the masks.
