There are approximately 60 kinds of Noh masks. The origin of Noh is from the entertainment called Sangaku which was transmitted from China in the Nara era. From the beginning of the Heian period, Sangaku spreads across Japan and gradually becomes known as Sarugaku. It is the beginning of the Noh mask that some mask bearers dance as gods in the festival praying for world peace and abundant harvest. Oni (Demon) mask was made at the very beginning of Noh mask history alongside with the god Okina, then several Noh masks of Human transcendent existence were made. A genius Zeami dramatically changed the Sarugaku in the Muromachi era. He has developed Sarugaku that was entertainment for the masses into highly artistic Noh.
