Product Description Japanese Wood-Carved Tengu Mask – Sarutahiko / Kagura Mask This is a striking wooden mask depicting a *Tengu* (a legendary creature from Japanese folklore), a figure often found in traditional Japanese folk culture and performing arts. It features a vivid red face, powerfully arched black eyebrows, a large nose, and white hair and a beard, creating a truly impressive expression. According to the original product information, this is a *Kagura* mask representing Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto. Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto is a deity from Japanese mythology, known since ancient times as a god who guides travelers and opens the way. *Tengu*, meanwhile, are figures deeply connected to Japanese mountain worship, folklore, and traditional performing arts. Crafted from wood with a three-dimensional form, the mask features a traditional color palette dominated by red, black, and white. It presents a powerful visage when viewed from the front; displaying it on a wall or shelf creates a unique, distinctly Japanese atmosphere.
