Vintage Japanese Hand-Carved Wooden Hannya Mask – Natural Grain Timber Demon Sculpture with Red Tassels for Japandi Wall Art 【Description】 An exceptionally fine vintage hand-carved wooden Japanese Noh/Kagura mask (Omen), portraying Hannya—the iconic female demon spirit transformed by tragic jealousy and passion. Iconography & Artisanal Grain Craftsmanship: Prominent Natural Wood Grain: Masterfully carved to emphasize the dense, undulating natural grain rings (Uzukuri / grain-relief finish) of fine solid timber, which flow rhythmically across the cheeks, brow, and horns without heavy painted pigments. Classic Hannya Features: Captures the emotional intensity of Hannya with sharp curved horns, furrowed brow lines, hollowed eyes, and a wide open jaw revealing carved teeth and fangs. Traditional Crimson Tassels: Fitted on both sides with vibrant red silk cords and tassels (Fusa), providing a striking color contrast against the warm, organic wood tone. Contemporary Interior Display: With its highly organic aesthetic and refined woodcraft, this piece serves as a sophisticated focal sculpture for modern Japandi entryways, minimal gallery walls, or executive study spaces. 【Condition】 Exhibits excellent, clean vintage condition throughout. Features beautiful natural wood patina with intact timber structure. Tassels show minor light thread fraying consistent with age. Includes reverse-side cord for immediate wall mounting. Please inspect all detailed high-resolution photographs prior to bidding. 【Period】 Circa 1960s–1970s (Mid to Late Showa Period) 【Dimensions & Estimated Weight】 Height: 26.0 cm Width: 15.0 cm Depth: 9.0 cm
