Japanese Wooden Noh mask Hannya demon oni Kyogen Kagura signed MSK508

This is a striking Japanese wooden Noh mask representing a fierce Oni (demon), typically used in Kyogen or Kagura performances. Expertly carved from wood and featuring long natural hair, this expressive mask embodies the dramatic tension and theatrical tradition of Japanese classical arts.

The mask showcases detailed and bold carving, emphasizing the sharp eyes, deep wrinkles, and powerful fangs typical of Hannya or Oni figures. The back side includes a maker’s stamp, suggesting it was handcrafted by a skilled artisan. The natural hair adds a lifelike, haunting effect and is carefully fixed to the head, although some strands may come loose with handling.

Perfect for collectors of Japanese antiques, Noh or Kagura-related items, or as a bold decorative piece for homes, studios, or cultural spaces.
