Kenji is a full-face mask blending human, animal, and demon figures. It is made of plaster bandage and paper clay, painted with acrylic paints and ribbon, which ties the mask to the performer.

CalaKabuki is a blending of the words Calaca and Kabuki.

This style came to the artists while working at the Japanese Matsuri festival in Phoenix, Arizona. The artists wanted to blend the theatrical kabuki style of mask painting, the Japanese Noh mask look, and the Calaca Día de los Muertos skeleton style.

These masks are currently used by Ken Koshio and his group at Cultural Coalitions’ Mask Alive festival for taiko drum performances.

All masks were initially sculpted for specific individuals while performing parkour at the Cultural Coalition Día de Los Muertos festivals. Their group name at the time was called the Flow-Ninjas.

These masks are part of the Performance Collection, which contains pieces available for loan to use in community and artistic performances.
