This mask can really be considered to be a laughing drunk. As the back of the head is made of the same wood, the mask covers the back of the head rather shallowly. This mask is not only more excellent than the other four Suiko-jû (N-220, N-221, N-222 and N-223), but is also one of the most excellent masks among all the Gigaku masks.
