Kabuki, Ka (music) Bu (dance) Ki (skill), is a popular Japanese art of singing and dancing. The Usobuki (Blowing Lie) is one of the comic Kyogen mask characters in Noh plays.
Skikami is also a Kyogen mask but with a fierce scowling face to portray a demonic spirit. Samurai were the warrior class of miltary men in medieval Japan (around the 12th century).
These mask stencil printables are based upon traditional Japanese Kabuki dancer costume designs and other ancient masks and historic carvings.
