Obeshimi. Plaster bandage and paper clay, decorated with acrylic paints. Angry expression on mask. Exaggerated furrowed brow with deep lines and large brown painted eyebrows swooping up to a point on the sides of the forehead. Large, wide nose that press against the wrinkles of the cheeks in a scowl expression. Thin lips that barely part with a mostly closed mouth. Painted in a flesh tone with red and brown accents in the lines and wrinkles around the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Part of the Taiko Noh Mask Series, these masks were created by Zarco Guerrero for Koshio Gumi Taiko Drum Troupe to perform in at Cultural Coalition’s 2023 Mask Alive Festival in Mesa.

Inspired by the traditional Noh Masks, Zarco studied during his time in Japan, he describes these masks as specially created and made directly on each drummer's individual face. Every mask has the features and characterizations of Noh masks, but the shapes are different to fit the performer's face - which means they are custom made for each person. Traditional Noh masks are smaller with the same dimensions.
