Sharp, uncanny makeup drawn on black. Ikusa (戦) means battle — a keen-eyed, high-spirited face for meeting whatever comes head-on. Kichi, who sculpted many of Komendo's original fox mask forms, painted this one, with the will to stand and fight however hard the times in mind.

Finish: semi-gloss (二分艶). The urethane topcoat is tuned to sit between matte and shine, so the mask keeps a matte texture and still catches light. It sheds a sudden shower, and resists soiling — though not as completely as a full gloss finish does.

Size: H 26cm x W 16cm x D 14cm (20cm excluding the ears). Fits S to L faces.

About the Standard Version

This is Komendo's standard construction: recycled paper laminated over the mould, then a base coat applied before the design is painted. It is the original method the maker has refined since 1989. Against the habutae-bari version of the same design, a standard mask runs roughly twice the weight — in the region of 200–260g depending on the design — and is correspondingly sturdier. The base coat and the urethane topcoat also make it far less sensitive to handling than habutae-bari, which is painted straight onto the bare laminate with no base coat at all.

How to Wear

Place the lower edge of the mask on your chin so that your chin line just slightly peeks out beneath it. This creates the most beautiful side profile and keeps the mask stable during wear.

Care & Storage

  • Avoid direct sunlight and high-temperature environments.
  • The urethane topcoat sheds light moisture and resists soiling. If the mask does get wet, gently blot with a dry cloth and air-dry in the shade. Do not rub.

Ordering & Shipping

Authorized Komendo retailer — officially sourced from the maker, never resale. As an authorized retailer, we order your mask directly from Komendo. We place orders with the maker once a week, and your mask usually ships from our Tokyo shop within 1–2 weeks, followed by international shipping. In the rare case the maker has no stock available, we will cancel your order and issue a full refund in our weekend processing. Orders with multiple items ship together once everything is ready.
