Ebony Hannya Mask

黒般若 (kuro-hannya): "the black hannya."

Kishimojin began in Indian Buddhism as Hārītī, a demon mother who stole other people's children and ate them. To stop her, the Buddha hid her youngest son, and once she had searched everywhere and felt the grief she'd caused, she swore to protect children instead. At her hall in Zōshigaya, Tokyo, people pray to her for safe births, and the temple writes the oni character in her name without its top stroke, so she has no horns.

Black from horns to chin, and the horns are very much still on, ringed in gold at the base, with a gold line along the brow. Spiral curls sit over the eyes, a braided ridge runs down the nose, and long white fangs stand out hard against all that black.

The white fangs are the first thing anyone sees on a dark wall, so give it a hallway, a game room or a studio. In costume it needs nothing but black clothes. It's also the dark face a wall of full-face oni masks needs in the middle.
