'Omoikane no Mikoto' 思兼命 / Japanese Bicchu Kagura Wood Carving folk craft mask Omoikane no Mikoto 思兼命 A god of many thoughts, meaning a deeply thoughtful god. The Japanese god of wisdom. A rare wooden mask representing Omoikane no Mikoto, the Shinto deity of wisdom, reflection, and deliberation. Revered in Japanese mythology as the god who gathers divine counsel and resolves complex matters, Omoikane is associated with intellect, strategy, and ceremonial harmony. This mask was likely crafted during the Showa period and used in ritual performance, folk festivals, or shrine-related ceremonies. The carving features a high forehead, stern gaze, and long beard—symbolic attributes of deep thought and spiritual authority. Natural fiber elements and rope fittings enhance its expressive presence, while signs of age and use reflect its cultural authenticity. Such masks are uncommon and carry strong symbolic meaning, bridging mythology, craftsmanship, and ritual practice. A compelling piece for collectors of Japanese folk art, Shinto iconography, and ceremonial masks.
