Kagura Mask, Bitchu Kagura Mask, Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto Author's name on the back. Thank you for looking. This is an antique traditional performing arts craft that was collected and kept by my parent who loves Kagura. It is an old item with scratches and dirt, but I would be happy if it could be passed on to someone who is interested. Please check the photos and consider it. ♦︎ Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto is said to be the god who guided Ninigi-no-Mikoto during the descent of the heavenly grandson. In Bitchu Kagura, he dances at the beginning of the ritual and plays the role of "sakiharai" (pathfinder), driving away evil spirits and purifying. His dance is characterized by vigorous and lively movements, skillfully manipulating fans and swords, and prays for the dispelling of disasters and天下泰平 (tenka taihei - peace throughout the land).
