A long-nosed or beaked mask with a stern expression, representative of the yamabushi tengu, mythical creatures of Japanese mythology said to take the disguise of (and originate from) priests, monks or mountain hermits. These masks often come painted in garish red. The long nose appeared in the fourteenth century and is said to symbolize the tengu's hatred of arrogance and prejudice.
