Description

This is a Shoki mask made from Japanese paper used in Iwami Kagura.

Shoki (しょうき) is a Taoist deity mainly from Chinese folklore. In Japan, he is believed to ward off smallpox and bring success in studies, and pictures or dolls are dedicated to him on Children's Day (Tango no Sekku). Furthermore, Shoki's imagery is said to have protective powers against evil, and is displayed on flags, folding screens, and hanging scrolls, or placed as a statue on rooftops.

Please check the images for the condition, as there is some deterioration.

Thank you for looking.
