masks in Korea and are believed to
have been made around the 12th
century by Ho-doryong, an unmarried
gentleman, as a result of a revelation
from a god. Legend says that there
were 12 masks originally, but three
have been lost. The remaining nine
masks are called Kakshi(bride),
Yangban(aristocrat), Sonbi(scholar),
and Pune(flirtatious young woman),
Choraengi(scatterbrained meddler),
Paekchong(butcher), Halmi(granny),
Chung(buddhist monk), and Imae
(foolish person). Each of the nine
masks has its own artistic merit and
exquisite expression of human
emotion, depending on the direction
from which spectators observe the
mask.
