Halloween & Horror Papercraft Masks

The plague doctor with its long beak, a bare skull, a werewolf with a jaw that opens — masks for the end of October, built from flat sheets at your own table.

Kits arrive with pre-cut parts and an illustrated assembly guide. If a kit is out of stock it is made fresh by Hayashi Takeo in about two weeks, so order early for Halloween.

Papercraft Kit FAQ

When should I order to have a mask ready for Halloween?

Work backwards from two things: whether the kit is in stock, and how long international post takes to your country. Kits in stock leave Tokyo in our weekend processing; out-of-stock kits are made fresh by the maker and ship in about two weeks. Then allow time to assemble and, if you plan to paint it, to dry.

Do I need scissors or a craft knife?

No. Every part arrives pre-cut. The kit includes the paper parts and an elastic cord, with an illustrated assembly guide. You supply glue, which is not included.

Is the assembly guide in English?

The guide is illustrated, and the instructions are written in Japanese. The drawings show the order of assembly.

Can I paint the kit?

Yes. Kits arrive in a single flat colour and are made to be finished as you like — painted, coated or left plain. Where our photographs show a customised piece, that is for inspiration: the kit itself arrives unpainted.

How soon does a kit ship?

Kits we have in stock ship from our Tokyo shop in our weekend processing, right after your order. If a kit is out of stock it is made fresh by Hayashi Takeo and ships in about two weeks. Shipping is included in the price and tracked. For orders to the United States we prepay U.S. import duties before shipping, so there is nothing to pay on delivery; elsewhere any duties are billed to the recipient.
