Handmade in Brittany

I work alone in my workshop in Brittany. Each mask starts with a 3D-printed PETG base, then I handle the sanding, primer, paint, varnish and finishing by hand.

Frequently asked questions

How does the moving jaw work?

The lower section is articulated. How it is actuated and how far it moves depend on the model, so check the product page rather than assuming every mask follows the mouth or head in the same way.

How is an articulated mask held in place?

The fastening, fit, visibility and intended use differ between designs. Check the product page before ordering. If a fastening detail is not published, contact the workshop rather than relying on a general rule for the collection.

What size are Dai Yokai articulated masks?

Dimensions vary by model and are listed on each product page when they have been confirmed. If a measurement is not published, contact the workshop before ordering.

Can I order a raw or hand-painted finish?

Some models have a raw PETG option as well as hand-painted finishes. The collection cards clarify this when the current variations allow a reliable comparison. The product page shows the finishes, current prices and availability that can actually be ordered.

How should an articulated mask be handled and stored?

Handle the mask by its rigid sections and do not force the moving joint beyond its normal range. Store it indoors in a dry place, away from prolonged direct sunlight and strong heat. Follow any model-specific care guidance on the product page, especially for hair, tentacles or added details.
