■ Product Overview
This is a handcrafted Japanese Noh mask representing Hannya, carved from solid wood.
The Hannya mask depicts a woman transformed by jealousy and rage into a demon.
It is characterized by its sharp horns, wide-open mouth, and intense, tormented expression.
This piece shows a strong emotional presence, with deeply carved facial lines, pronounced cheek structure, and a dramatic mouth revealing metallic fangs. The eyes are slightly hollowed, enhancing the haunting and expressive quality typical of Hannya masks.
The surface finish has a refined texture with subtle aging marks, giving it both visual depth and authenticity.
