AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

In very good conditon.
There are pain and stains due to aged deterioration,but no problem with functionality.
Please use zoom to inspect all pictures closely for the cosmetic condition.

Iwami Kagura masks are made by layering dozens of sheets of tough Sekishu washi paper with glue containing persimmon tannins. They are lightweight and sturdy, and can withstand the intense movements of Kagura. As each Kagura group tries to create their own unique mask, there are a huge number of different types, and one of the joys of Kagura is seeing the differences in the expressions of each mask. In recent years, masks have become popular not only for stage use, but also as lucky charms and decorations.
