These are very rustic. My first try at plaque making. If you see some potential here, I am willing to help make souvenir plaques. I might get better with practice. ;-)



The Yangban mask is one of the remaining eleven Hahoe masks. There were originally 14, but three were lost. The remaining 11 have been designated as a National Treasure in Korea.

Description of the mask: "Yangban T'al (The Aristocrat) is viewed as the masterpiece best representing the aesthetic value among Hahoe masks. Its expression is generally gentle, mixed with bombastic and leisurely expressions, just as goes the saying; "Yangban picks his teeth, even when he drinks water". The separate chin with a hanging string makes firm the mouth when drooping the head, and thus changes himself into an angry face."
