Karasu Tengu (烏天狗), a crow-like Tengu from Japanese folklore. Unlike the more human-faced Daitengu (大天狗), the Karasu Tengu has bird-like features, including a sharp beak and dark complexion. These beings are considered powerful, mystical creatures with supernatural abilities. They are often depicted as protectors of the mountains and forests, possessing martial arts skills and deep wisdom.
The dark greenish-black color, golden eyes, and red accents on this mask add an ominous and intense expression. The small black hat with gold detailing is characteristic of Tengu iconography, sometimes representing their role as mountain ascetics or warriors. Karasu Tengu are known to be both protectors and tricksters, guiding or misleading those who encounter them, depending on their intentions.
