The Hannya Mask represents a female demon consumed by rage and jealousy. Originating from Noh theater, one of the oldest forms of Japanese performance art, this mask embodies the complexities of human emotion. The design usually features sharp, pointed horns, unsettlingly bright red skin, and an intricate, dynamic expression that beautifully contrasts the delight and sorrow of human existence. If you admire drama and storytelling, you may appreciate how these masks evoke multiple interpretations and serve as a bridge between the performers and the audience.
