Hi, there are well over 200 Noh theater masks, plus other theater and dance maska, sometimes with only subtle differences. I think the center mask may be Hanya, used in Noh theater and some dances. The Hannya mask portrays the souls of women who have become demons due to obsession or jealousy. However, there are very many demon masks and I'm offering my best guess. If you Google terms like 'Noh Theater Masks' or 'Japanese Theater Masks' , you will find fertile drounds for searching. Best of luck, Jim
Thanks for the info. I did that a bit an was told by one mask expert they are not noh masks so I'm not really sure if they are just art peices and not meant to wear.
Very cool masks, the Devil is the best!
I believe they are worth minimum $500 each and maybe much more!!!
