Noh Masks

By Crusader1307

 From Japan, Noah Masks are used in Kabuki and Opera performances (going back centuries). These strange ceramic faces , feature one side of the Mask with a smile and the other crying . They are very expensive to make and were often commissioned by wealthy people as a form of Luck Talisman. It is said that the Noh mask is infused with a spirit . The Spirit takes to it's Owner (normally in his sleep) trying to get them to put them on (over their own face). If this happens, the Noh Mask will suck out one's energy (until only a rotting husk is left). Some variations have the Noh Spirit possessing the near Walking Dead (so they can experience some form of life . They will however keep out evil from one's house (provided they are left on the wall!)
