Description
The image of the Hannya mask, when I saw it for the first time in a video game from the 90s, had a very strong impact on me. At the same time that it seemed terrifying to me, it was beautiful.

That was before knowing one of the masterpieces of Kaneto Shindo's cinema, "Onibaba" from 1964. Beyond the terrifying appearance, everything in it is oppressive, the atmosphere of war, the hunger, the strength of the sexual desire that requires being satisfied, greed, deceit, and ignorance. As well as, a topic that is being revalued in current cinema, "folk horror."

The image presented here is an attempt to capture the famous scene from the film.
