🌸 The Hannya Mask: Exploring Jealousy’s Face - softypapa shorts 🎭🦋🇯🇵🔍

In this softypapa short, I delve into the fascinating world of Japanese Noh drama with a close look at a small ceramic ornament of a Hannya mask. This decorative piece, which cannot be worn, depicts a female figure consumed by rage, scorn, and jealousy, complete with the iconic horns symbolizing these intense emotions. The Hannya mask is a powerful representation of the suffering and transformation associated with these feelings. I also share the intriguing cultural detail about Japanese bridal attire, which includes headgear designed to conceal the symbolic horns of jealousy. This clip is part of my Antique Roadshow playlist, reflecting on the rich history and stories behind antique pieces I encountered as a dealer.
Haiku:
Rage in porcelain,
Horns of envy tell a tale-
Silent screams endure.

cool! I’m sure the connection between horns and jealousy can be found in other cultures as well
