Japanese mask - demon face - ONI

Made in japan

Oni (鬼) are creatures of Japanese folklore popular in Japanese arts, literature and theater.
Their appearance diverges from source to source, but they usually have a humanoid shape, a gigantic size, sharp claws, two protruding horns growing on their forehead, ruffled hair and a hideous appearance. They have similarities to trolls and ogres; their names are translated as "demons" or "devils".
Oni are commonly portrayed wearing tiger skin loincloths and wielding an iron club called kanabō (金 棒).
