Traditional Japanese Chikyu Mask

-----Description-----

Chikyu (地久) is one of the characters in the Bugaku (舞楽) performance "Hira mai".

In the dance, four to six people move in unison and wear flowing cloaks with colorful helmets like a phoenixes. 

Chikyuu celebrates the eternity of heaven and earth with slow, graceful movements that bring life to the mask's radiant joy. 

Its prominent nose has a steep bridge, curled smiling eyes, and curved eyebrows to give the impression of laughter emerging from the parted lips.
