Chorei-beshimi
The name of the mask is derived from its craftsman, Chorei, who lived the end of Muromachi period. The mask is based on the style of Beshimi, but the facial expression is giving us the impression of a humorous man with the full of compassion. The mask is used for the role of Chohan Kumasaka, who is a master thief.
