Description

MORIKUNI Framed Oni Mask is a Japanese artistic talisman wall decoration that is said to drive away bad luck from your home. Oni is a Japanese monster called Yokai. He appears in folktales in various regions of Japan and is feared by people as a guard of the underworld. He is a symbol of something horrible and strong beyond human power. He is a legendary evil hero who brings disaster to people once he gets angry. On the other hand, people respect him as a fierce god, because he has strong power to drive away disaster and evil spirits. People in the past believed that Oni bestowed on them not only benefit but also punishment depending on the state of a person’s heart. He discourages people’s neglectfulness and discord with his fierce look. That means he is a symbol of a Japanese traditional culture that values discipline and order. It would be nice to hang this product at the entrance of your house or at places that value discipline and order like a Japanese training place, or dojo. It would make a heartfelt gift to someone precious to you.
