This mask is quite similar to the Kongou mask in some of its characteristics, but there are many differences as well because it is made of paulownia wood and has a rather thinner, sweeter face with a chin that is not so squared compared to N-212. Although this mask is called Rikishi now, it is actually a Kongou mask, which was probably made in the eighth century just like the mask in N-212.
