The world of Japanese masks

Red and gold Oni mask among pieces in the Dai Yokai workshop in Brittany

Dai Yokai workshop

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

Which Japanese mask should I choose for wall decoration?

For a wall, a tattoo studio or a shop window, go for volume and visual presence: large Oni, Hannya and Tengu masks command the space, while Kitsune use finer lines. Choose according to the width, depth and viewing distance available.

What is the difference between Oni, Hannya, Kitsune, Tengu and Mempo?

Oni, Kitsune and Tengu draw on different folklore figures. Hannya is a Nō theatre mask type, representing a female demon or a woman transformed by resentment. Historical menpō is samurai facial armour; the shop’s Mempo half masks are contemporary interpretations. Choose the visual reference, then compare each model’s format and intended use.

Are Dai Yokai masks handmade?

Yes. The base is 3D printed in my workshop, then everything else is done by hand: sanding, priming, painting, detailing and varnishing. These steps explain the slight variations from one piece to the next: every mask is unique.

Can Dai Yokai masks be worn?

Consider wearing only a model whose product page identifies it as wearable. A full, half or articulated format alone does not establish this. Check the fastening, fit and field of view before use. The Ryū Dragon is decorative and cannot be worn; adding padding or another fastening does not change its intended use.

What material are the masks made of?

The base is printed in PETG, a strong and lightweight plastic that is more resistant to impact and heat than PLA. It is then sanded, painted and varnished by hand.

How do you display a Japanese mask?

Hang it on the wall with a fixing suited to the model, or place it on a compatible stand for a shelf display. Avoid damp rooms, direct heat and prolonged full sun so the varnish and pigments keep their depth. A dry microfiber cloth is all you need for upkeep.

How long does preparation take before shipping?

For a made-to-order piece, allow 2 to 4 weeks before shipping. This covers printing, painting, drying, finishing and packing. Carrier transit time is added afterwards.
