Netsuke of Mask

The Netsuke of Mask by artist Koto is a wooden sculpture of a demon or ogre head with a wide, toothy grin. The head is carved from dark brown wood and features a large, open mouth with many sharp teeth. The eyes are small and bead-like, and the eyebrows are curved and ridged. The forehead has many horizontal lines carved into it, giving the impression of wrinkles or furrows. The ears are small and rounded, and the nose is flat and wide. The background of the image is plain white.
