A noh mask representing a demon from hell who dances a fierce dance. A smaller version of oobeshimi, the compressed scale of its features creates a truly frightening and intense aura. A sharp glare emanates from the protruding, metallic gold eyeballs. The mouth is clamped firmly together and the ends of the mouth curl downward without a hint of the playfulness seen in the oobeshimi. Kobeshimi's dark red color also lends the mask power. source 
I made Kobeshimi while living in Wakayama, Japan
