Ikusa Battle Fox Mask - Habutae-bari Kitsune Mask by Komendo

Sharp, bewitching makeup cuts across a black ground; the eyes glare, roused and fearless. Ikusa (戦) means battle. Kichi — the artist who has sculpted many of Komendo’s original mask forms — both shaped and painted this design, filling it with the will to stand and fight even in hard times.

• Style: Full fox mask
• Size: H 26cm x W 16cm x D 14cm
• Weight: about half the standard version
• Finish: matte clear urethane coat — protects the surface and repels light moisture
• Paint & form design: Kichi / Crafted by Ichino Co., Ltd.

Habutae-bari: 12 layers laminated entirely by hand with rice paste and left unprimed, so the design is painted directly onto the warm, softly textured surface. Far lighter than the standard construction — a real advantage for a mask worn on the face — though the thinner build calls for gentler handling.

Worn resting on the forehead and chin, with the lower edge sitting on the jawline.
