Fierce Japanese Wooden Kagura Mask of a Wrathful Deity  Edo to Meiji Period ＜ZF88＞

A powerful and expressive Japanese wooden mask, carved from a single block of wood and showing traces of its original pigments. The fierce features—furrowed brow, flared nostrils, downturned lips, and crest motif on the forehead—suggest it represents a wrathful deity or martial spirit, possibly used in regional Kagura performances.

The mask displays substantial age, wear, and patina consistent with actual use, giving it great character and authenticity. An evocative piece of folk performance art from the Late Edo to Early Meiji period.
