We designed a new image called "Hannya" (般若), means "Prajna" in Sanskrit.
This scary mask is created for "Noh" (能), a Japanese traditional performing arts. The mask expressed as a curse of a woman. However, in the Noh stage, she realizes many things and acquires wisdom by teachings of Buddhism.
"Hannya" means wisdom which is different from knowledge.
