Hariko (papier-maché) masks made by Furukawa in Kyoto (three options)

Made from five layers of paper that is moulded on wooden blocks (see process photos), then hand painted. These are all unique.

These are hand made by Furukawa-san in Kyoto.

Each one has a string on the back for hanging and some have tiny holes on the sides to attach string if you like.

These are decorative - for hanging on the wall or sitting on a bookshelf.

These are a traditional folk craft in Japan. Furukawa-san was inspired to start mask making from when he used to tour all over Japan during his days playing the banjo. Furukawa-san makes these from his studio in Kyoto in his old family shop.

Please select which one you would like from the drop down menu. If you select the different options on the drop down menu a corresponding image should appear.

Hand made in Kyoto, Japan. Please note because these are all handmade they will have imperfections. This is part of their beauty!

We have multiples of Kitsune (fox), so there might be very slight differences from the one photographed (check photo of group of them).

We do not accept returns/ exchanges on these because they are one-offs. Please choose carefully.
