Japanese Vintage Wood Carved Noh Mask Ayakashi Ghost of Young Man Kiso-hinoki    Japanese Vintage Wood Carved Noh Mask Ayakashi Ghost of Young Man Kiso-hinoki
A ghost of a man aged between 20 and 30. The eyebrows and beard flow strongly outward, and the clenched teeth and sharp eyes can be read as remnants of the bravery of his life.

In the play "Funa Benkei", Tomomori Taira, who died in battle, appears as a vengeful spirit and attacks Minamoto no Yoshitsune. The ghost of Taira no Tomomori, who appears with a long sword and rampages around the narrow stage, is sometimes used for this mysterious mask. Conversely, it seems that it is also used for roles that are different from bravery, such as a man who suffers after losing a friend, or a man who becomes a ghost because of his regrets because he died without being married to a woman.
