About my design

by zerobriant

Think lion, japanese mask, and think death...hehe The hannya mask is the vengeful and jealous woman turned demon. Pointed horns, metallic eyes and teeth, and the expression all exhibit the full wrath, anger and resentment of her nature. The origins of hannya masks may have come from early snake masks but most likely the image was taken from painted hand scrolls of stories and legends of the Muromachi period. So much with history..this is originally made with animal skulls. hope you like it.
