Jesus F. Christ · #1 22.5.2007, 7:53 am

Okay so i was wondering if any of ya knew where I could get ahold on some masks like this one:

I don't know what they're called, but I've seen them in Japanesse culture alot. (i.e. like Karasu in Yu Yu Hakusho, he's badass!

)
I think they're old fashoined gas mask ninjas used?

So can anyone help me locate on these buggas?

Oh and btw a million fucking points to whoever can correctly give me the name of that person in the picture?
He's a DJ is ur only clue. ^^

Traditional Japanese masks worn by Samurai were known as a "Mempo".
there are diffrent types of masks, usually depends on ranking of the warrior. Members of a bushi sect. would wear full face coverings, usually of demons or other character resemblances. Lower ranks wore half masks, usually covering the chin and cheeks, resembling monkeys or other animals.
high ranking has iron or steel masks, while lower had brass or thick leather masks.

Hopefully this helped a little.

ninjas mostly wore face covering in order to hide their face, but i have heard of usuing a device to protect from harmful gases or poisons. i do not know its name, but i imagine its real.

I used to heavily study japanese culture not too long ago.

I Don't know where to find the mask but the guy in the picture is DJ Sizen (aka DJ Violet and DJ666Fox.) Hes a Japanese Industrial Club DJ, one of my favorites. His myspace is [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] for those interested.
