Japanese Tengu Mask – Traditional Hand-Carved Wooden Folk Mask – Early 20th Century (Style) This is a traditional Japanese Tengu mask, hand-carved from wood and finished with red and black pigments. Tengu masks are deeply associated with Japanese folk beliefs, mountain asceticism, and local festivals, symbolizing powerful and protective spirits. This example features a strongly carved long nose, expressive eyes, and a dynamic facial expression, characteristic of classical Tengu masks used in folk performances rather than formal Noh theatre.
