Various masks have been made in the world. Some were made to be dedicated to Almighty God, others were made for disguise. In ancient times, masks were used in religious and political rites, but only the forms of those rites were remembered and converted into masques later.
Because faces are symbols of personalities, you can erase your personalities by wearing masks. But sometimes (e.g. when fencing) masks highlight your personalities by making the expressions of your bodies stand out. Though you can use masks to disguise yourselves and protect yourselves by hiding your expressions, masks often disclose your actual feelings. The Mask Gallery will introduce to you many kinds of masks in the world, which include very expressive ones and expressionless ones. If you see them carefully, you will understand what they want to say. |
