Hannya Mask 般若面 Japanese Noh play Wooden Mask / Jealous Female Demon Oni folk craft mask Hannya mask is a mask used in Japanese Noh theater, representing a jealous female demon. It is characterized by two sharp bull-like horns, metallic eyes, and a leering mouth. A striking wooden Hannya mask carved during Japan’s Showa period, representing the tormented spirit of a woman consumed by jealousy and rage. Used in Noh theater and traditional dance, the Hannya mask is one of the most iconic forms in Japanese performing arts, embodying complex emotional states through its fierce expression. This example features sharp golden horns, bulging eyes, and a wide, snarling mouth with exposed teeth—elements designed to evoke fear and sorrow simultaneously. The surface shows natural signs of age and use, with a warm patina that enhances its dramatic presence. The mask is carved from wood and painted in traditional tones, with fine detailing around the eyes, mouth, and hairline. Such masks were not only theatrical tools but also symbolic objects used in folk rituals and cultural storytelling. This piece offers collectors a glimpse into Japan’s rich heritage of craftsmanship, emotion, and performance. A powerful and expressive artifact for collectors of Japanese masks, Noh theater, and cultural iconography.
