Description

Onnamen: Deigan by Ninocence > Music - Kimera Morrell > Ninocence and Raven avatars of Lilium Labs are portraying female demon characters in Japanese oni masks. Masks are an essential element of the centuries-old tradition of Japanese Noh theater, signifying to the audience many aspects of the wearer’s character. Traditionally, women do not act in Noh, so their parts are played by men wearing onna-men, or women’s masks, which take on a variety of forms. The fearsome Hannya is a jealous female demon, and deigan mask represents a mature woman who carries within her the seeds of supernatural transformation, while simultaneously signaling a demonic spirit that will soon manifest. > Whilst they obviously hide the actor’s expressions, they’re carefully carved to catch the stage light and change expression depending on the angle of the mask’s shadow. When an actor wearing a Hannya mask looks directly at the audience they see an angry female face; however, if Hannya looks at the ground, the relected light creates the illusion almost as though she is crying.
