Half Bloom Oni Tee

鬼面 (kimen): "the demon face."

Around February 3, on Setsubun, families across Japan throw roasted soybeans at whoever is wearing the paper oni mask, usually a parent, and shout "Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi": demons out, good luck in. Supermarkets sell the beans with a cardboard mask folded into the bag. When the shouting stops, everyone eats one bean for each year of their age, for health in the year ahead.

A red oni mask with gold horns and gold fangs splits down the middle, and its right half has bloomed into dusty pink peonies. 鬼面 (kimen), "demon face," runs down the right side twice in the same pink, and a round copy of the split mask sits on the chest.

Bring it out the week the bean bags hit the shelves, or any week with black jeans, beside the fiercer faces in the oni and masks collection. Washed light gray turns the red toward brick and the pink toward old silk, so it looks gentle until someone gets close.
