What Is a Hannya Mask?: The hannya (般若) is a mask used in traditional Japanese Noh theater, representing a jealous female demon. They are also sometimes displayed in homes to ward off evil spirits and misfortune.
A Shape That Expresses Duality: The upper half of the Hannya mask has a sad expression with frowning eyebrows, while the lower half has a wide open mouth expressing fierce anger. This is said to express the dual nature of the demon woman's heart, which is filled with anger and sadness.
