Noh面具 - 木 - Hyottoko mask (沒有保留價)

Hyottoko ひょっとこ
Hyottoko refers to a man or mask with a purse one's lips, bent expression. It is also called a squirting mask. The size of the left and right eyes may be different, and he may also wear a cheek mask. Alternatively, the person wearing the mask often wears a cheek-covering.

Full of playful charm, this Hyottoko (ひょっとこ) wooden Kagura mask captures the off‑beat humor and improvisational spirit that define this beloved folk character. The asymmetrical eyes, puckered mouth, and exaggerated features create a lively, slightly mischievous expression—an intentional distortion that embodies the comic timing of traditional festival dances. The hand‑carved surfaces and warm pigments emphasize its roots in rural performance culture, where Hyottoko appears as a bringer of good fortune, laughter, and light‑hearted energy. The attached moustache and bold facial lines heighten the mask’s rustic personality, revealing the maker’s sensitivity to rhythm and character rather than strict realism. Within a collection or interior, the mask introduces a bright, folkloric presence, adding warmth, humor, and a touch of festival spirit to the surrounding space.
