Hannya Mask T-Shirt
Hannya Mask T-Shirt
A woodcut-style design of a Japanese Hannya mask. The Hannya mask originates from Japanese Noh theatre and represents a jealous female demon. Its use dates back to at least the 15th century, and the word Hannya comes from the Sanskrit word for "wisdom," reflecting the complex emotions the mask conveys. The mask depicts a woman transformed by intense rage, sorrow, and jealousy, usually due to betrayal or unrequited love. Its features—sharp horns, metallic eyes, and a leering mouth—are meant to look terrifying from the front but tragic and sorrowful from certain angles, symbolising the inner torment of the character. Today, the Hannya mask is also a popular tattoo and artistic motif, blending beauty, pain, and rage, and is often interpreted as a warning against the destructive power of emotions.
