Product Description
“Shiro Hannya (White Hannya) Mask”
The Hannya mask is a mask used in Japanese Noh theater, representing a female serpent-demon filled with malicious jealousy and hatred. Two bull-like horns sprout from the temples and bulbous, metallic eyes lie half hidden beneath scowling brows. The gaping mouth is full of gold teeth, with upper and lower fangs that heighten her ferocity. The color of the flesh tones of the mask represents the social rank of the woman portrayed. For example a lighter complexion might indicate aristocratic status, light on top and red below indicating lower-class status, and completely red for true demons. The name hannya is a Sino-Japanese word for prajna or wisdom.
