A striking Japanese oni (demon) mask in deep black, with dramatically elongated horns and a powerful, snarling expression. The sculpted planes of the face, raised brows and sharp fangs give this piece a strong stage presence, ideal for collectors of Japanese theatre props, samurai-style décor or dark interior accents. The reverse shows a maker’s inscription, indicating it was created as a crafted art piece rather than a cheap souvenir. The material is a painted hard body with a smooth interior and textured exterior; please refer carefully to the close-up photos. This mask works beautifully as a wall display in a Japanese-style room, bar, gallery or shop, but can also be worn for performance or cosplay if you add new tying cords. Dating (in Western year) Estimated production: late 20th century (circa 1970–1990), based on style and overall condition.
