Kanawa (The Iron Crown)

A noh play about a woman who performs black magic (shamanic-esoteric) rituals to transform herself into a demon so that she can get revenge on her faithless husband. The ritual involves placing an iron band with three burning candles (the kanawa) on her head. See below for the Noh mask and costume.

Compare this mask to the more demonic masks used in Aoi no Ue and Dojoji such as the hannya mask below.
