Small Tengu mask

My latest mask, a small version of the Tengu. There are numerous renditions of Tengu, sometimes bearded, sometimes not, sometimes black hair, sometimes white. I went for a long white beard for this one.

  2. Love Tengu, both the long red nosed versions, and the Kurasu bird-faced Tengu. I own several Tengu masks, both large and small. The Tengu is the most interesting and complex of the Japanese mythological creatures, such as Kappa and Oni. Thanks for posting this photo.
