Japanese Tengu Wooden Mask

Japanese Tengu Wooden Mask Japanese Tengu mask %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
A striking and finely carved Japanese Tengu mask, embodying one of Japan’s most iconic mythical figures with vivid artistry and commanding presence. Crafted in wood and painted in bold tones, this decorative piece features the exaggerated nose, furrowed brows, and stern gaze that are hallmarks of the Tengu—designed to evoke awe and reverence. Black-painted eyebrows and moustache frame the face with dramatic flair, while the gold eyes and ornate gold-black crest lend a regal accent and showcase the mask’s meticulous craftsmanship. Rich in detail and saturated with colour, this mask is far more than ornament—it is a cultural artefact steeped in centuries of legend and ritual. Traditionally used in Noh theatre, festivals, and as protective talismans, Tengu masks are believed to ward off evil and safeguard sacred spaces. Once feared as disruptive spirits, Tengu evolved into revered mountain guardians and masters of martial arts—embodying both mischief and wisdom. A powerful statement piece that bridges decorative appeal with deep cultural resonance.

Here at Sinclair's Antiques and Interiors we do our utmost best to ensure all our items are described and photographed to show any flaws or damage such as shrinkage splits, losses or lifts to veneer, repairs or marks. However, giving the age and the fact that each piece will have had years of polishing to create its own individual character we cannot describe every minor mark separately and therefore recommend you either visit our warehouse or request extra photographs.
