Shadow Menpo Mask

影の面頬 (kage no menpō): "the shadow face guard."

Samurai armor covered the face too. The menpō ran from the nose to the chin, and it did real work: a small hole under the chin let sweat drain, and posts on the cheeks held the helmet cord so the helmet stayed put in a fight. Many had a nose piece that could come off. Armorers gave them wrinkles, mustaches and bared teeth, so the face an enemy saw was fiercer than the man inside.

This one takes the menpō's shape in matte black, nose to chin, with nostril holes and cheek wings swept back toward the ears. Copper-red lines trace the ridges, and the open mouth shows gold teeth with four gold fangs.

Stand it next to a sword rack or a shelf of samurai history, or wear it over a black hood to finish a costume. Black and copper also looks good against our red oni masks if you're hanging a set.
