Hannya Noh Mask – Japanese Pottery Wall Decoration (20.6cm)

Bring the power and mystery of traditional Japanese theater into your home with this handcrafted Hannya Noh mask wall decoration.

Since the 14th century, the classical Japanese performing art Noh has used masks (Nohmen or omote) to portray demons, spirits, and human characters of different ages.

By wearing a mask, actors reveal a new “face” to the audience while concealing their true self behind the expression.

The Hannya mask represents a jealous female demon, a powerful symbol in Japanese culture. Its name comes from the Sanskrit word prajñā, meaning “profound wisdom.” With its striking design and dramatic expression, the Hannya mask is one of the most recognizable icons of Noh theater.

This pottery piece, measuring 20.6cm in height, makes a striking wall decoration for lovers of Japanese art, theater, and mythology.
