The Curse of Hashihime

Beneath the dim glow of lantern light, the figure emerges, the Hashihime mask concealing their face, transforming them into the embodiment of jealousy and wrath. In the ancient Noh theater, Hashihime—The Bridge Princess—is a fearsome spirit, a woman scorned who submerged herself in a river for seven nights, emerging as an Oni, a vengeful demon bent on retribution. The carved wrinkles of this mask, the manic expression, the gilded teeth, and piercing gold-rimmed eyes bring her haunting presence to life. In the flickering shadows of the stage, the mask shifts—one moment desperate, the next menacing, carrying with it the weight of centuries-old Japanese folklore. To wear it is to step into the heart of legend, to feel the rage of a spirit who lingers between the realms of love and destruction.

The Demoness of the Noh Stage

Carved from wood during the Postwar Showa period (1940~), this Noh mask of Hashihime is a striking representation of Japanese folklore and traditional theater. Signed by the artisan, its intricate details—deep furrowed brows, wild etched hair, sharp golden teeth, and expressive, almost tormented eyes—capture the essence of the wrathful bridge spirit. In Noh performances, this mask is worn to embody jealousy, fury, and transformation, making it one of the most chilling and powerful masks in Japan’s theatrical tradition. Measuring authentic proportions for stage use, this rare piece is both an artistic treasure and a relic of the mysterious world of Noh and Kyōgen drama, where masks do not simply conceal but awaken the spirits of legend.
