This hannya is cast in resin and painted in a deep green that shades to black at the edges and the folds, with two gold horns, gold-rimmed eyes and an open mouth of gold teeth, the inside black and the straps crossed behind. On the Noh stage the colour of a hannya tells you how far the woman has gone, and green is the middle: past sorrow, not yet all the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the hannya for a person who finds the red too much and the blue too cold, and it is the one that reads as bronze from a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name, Aohannya, is the green hannya, and on the stage that is the mask of the woman half-way to the demon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mask is cast in a hard resin, thick enough to take a knock, painted by hand in layers so the colour deepens in the folds and lightens on the brow, with the horns, the eyes and the teeth picked out in gold, and the inside finished black. It fastens with two crossed adjustable elastic straps, and the eyes are open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear it with the straps crossed behind the head and adjusted once, which holds it without a hand, and it sits on the face with the eyes at eye level and the mouth clear. It is a mask for a festival, a party or a stage, and it breathes better than it looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe green is the detail: it is a deep, slightly blue green that reads as old bronze in low light and as jade in sun, and the gold sits on it more quietly than on the red. The horns are the same brushed gold and the teeth the same points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHung on a wall it is a face in the room, and that is how most of them end up: on a nail by the door, over a desk, in a hallway where a guest meets it first. It is photographed at the same scale as every mask in the collection, so the pages compare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe with a soft dry cloth; keep it out of a hot car and direct sun, which dull the paint. The straps unclip for washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom across a room it is a dark green face with horns. From close the paint shows its shading, the horns their gold, and the mouth its teeth. It is the mask for a wall with a green in it, and for a person who knows the three colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne size, adult. The mask covers the face from the hairline to below the chin, and the straps adjust from a teenager's head to a large adult's.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YONAKU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59207950074204,"sku":"14:175","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1055\/3386\/6332\/files\/green-hannya-mask-aohannya-1.jpg?v=1790585536","url":"https:\/\/yonaku.com\/products\/green-hannya-mask-aohannya","provider":"YONAKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
