Mountain Tengu Mask - Japanese Noh Yamabushi Kazarimen

Description

This Japanese ceramic Yamabushi Tengu mask represents the mythical Tengu, which translates to "heaven dog" in Japanese. The name possibly originated from a large meteor that struck China in the 6th century BC, resembling a dog's tail in the sky. The Tengu legend arrived in Japan with Buddhism around the 6th or 7th century AD. In Japanese mythology, Tengu are mischievous creatures residing in mountain clans, possessing supernatural powers to torment humans they perceive as vain or corrupt.
