There are approximately 60 kinds of Noh masks. The origin of "Noh" is from the entertainment called "Sangaku" which was transmitted from China in the Nara era. From the beginning of the Heian period, "Sangaku" spreads across Japan and gradually becomes known as Sarugaku. " It is the beginning of the Noh mask that some mask bearers dance as "gods in the festival praying for world peace and abundant harvest. "Oni (Demon)" mask was made at the very beginning of Noh mask history alongside with the god "Okina", then several Noh masks of "Human transcendent existence" were made. A genius "Zeami" dramatically changed the "Sarugaku" in the Muromachi era. He has developed "Sarugaku" that was entertainment for the masses into highly artistic Noh.
