The devil mask is to be oldest in Japan. As same as Fierce God Style the most of devil masks are used for protection from evil spirits.Devil masks serve two purposes; the first to portray the devil and create disasters or cause the plague, and conversely they are used toward off evil spirits. On the evening of New Years, people sing to drive the evil spirit away and for good luck they scatter beans as a sign of the coming spring. As a result we call these masks Oni Mask. There are special Devil masks which have been handed down from generation to generation on some districts. Ondeko and Gojinjyotaiko are famous traditional performing arts. |
