Authentic Japanese Samurai Mask Collection<\/h2>\r\nJapanese Samurai Masks are a part of traditional Japan and their origins go back times. Samurai Masks are also a representation of the rich cultural values of Japan and symbolize its history.\r\n

History of Warrior Masks<\/h2>\r\nArmor was a major part of Japanese Samurai Culture. It provided them with security and protection in the battlefields and in times of war but more importantly, it represented their mythology and art.\r\n\r\nThe armors were made of steel to prevent any advancements but in a way that provided complete flexibility and mobility, usually, an upturned crescent decorated the helmet and the face was covered with a leather or steel mask.\r\n\r\nDuring the 11th Century, the Happuri style of face mask was popular and its main purpose was to protect the temples and the forehead. The designs and creativeness did not reach its peak during the early times rather simple and minimalistic work was preferred by the warriors.\r\n\r\nThen in the 13th \u2013 15th Century, the Muromachi Era, several types of masks gained popularity. Some of them are;\r\n\r\nHoate<\/strong>\r\n\r\nSamurai Mask that covered everything below the eyes.\r\n\r\nMempo<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThese masks covered the whole face.\r\n\r\nSarubo<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThese covered only the chin and cheeks and were also known as \u2018monkey cheek\u2019.\r\n\r\nTsubamegata<\/strong>\r\n\r\nMore commonly known as the \u2018swallow pattern\u2019 used to cover nothing but the chins\r\n\r\nAs this era was primarily based upon war and fighting, decorating and adorning the mask was not a priority rather the safety and protection that the piece of armor provided was valued.\r\n\r\nIn the 14th century, the creation of masks took a new turn and mostly realistic human looking masks gained popularity. The old warriors<\/a> wore and preferred masks that gave a younger appearance and the younger preferred those which made them look older.\r\n\r\nMasks were even made to make people look of different ethnicities like a Korean man which then used to help them in different, secret disguises.\r\n\r\nSome masks even made them disguise themselves as women but mostly warriors were afraid of their heads being thrown away and not preserved as a trophy if they died in a woman disguise for which they decorated them with moustaches.\r\n\r\nIn the Edo period, mostly the masks were more used for creating a certain image rather than using for protection as those were peaceful times. Masks usually depicted the personality of the wearer, for instance, warriors with a fierce and aggressive nature mostly wore the masks of Tengu<\/a>.\r\n\r\nOther masks that became prominent were ghost masks, demon masks and mountain goblin masks. The masks in this era usually said a lot about the nature of the person wearing it.\r\n

Making of Samurai War Mask<\/h2>\r\nThe making of the Samurai Mask was a special thing and required long and extensive hard work to get the details right. Iron was the main element that the mask was based upon and all of them had to be waterproof to prevent rusting of the mask and helmet.\r\n\r\nThe four main components of the mask were;\r\n\r\nOdome and Ori-Kugi<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAn attachment post and hook that secured the chin part of the mask to the whole helmet.\r\n\r\nAse Nagashi<\/strong>\r\n\r\nA tiny hole at the base of the chin that was made in order to drain an excessive sweat during the battles.\r\n\r\nYodare-kake<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThis part was made to serve as a neck-guard but was attached to the face mask and was made of iron which would be lacquered\r\n\r\nThe nose of the mask was made separately and attached on to the mask in order for the wearer to easily remove it when suitable.\r\n

Types of Warriors<\/h2>\r\nApproximately all the Samurai warriors wore the armor which consisted of the chest and backplate, the neck plate and helmet and the mask.
