Description

The maedate is worn on the front of the Japanese samurai kabuto helmet. Lacquered wood, largely gilded.

This mask represents a grimacing oni, a creature from Japanese folklore. Their appearance varies from source to source, but they are usually humanoid in shape, gigantic in size, with sharp claws, two protruding horns growing from their forehead, shaggy hair, and a hideous appearance. In traditional festivals, men dressed as oni often lead the parade to ward off misfortune. Japanese buildings sometimes include tiles with an oni face, called onigawara, on their roofs to ward off bad luck.

PERIOD: Edo period.

DIMENSIONS: 9 x 15 cm (without base)
9 x 25 cm (with base)
